Media notes
This bird crouched down, perhaps being ready to fly, when a female New Zealand falcon flew overhead.
Observation details
One kingfisher was perched on a powerline, above a mown lawn. When a female New Zealand falcon flew over (the kingfisher responding perhaps as least as much to an Australian magpie's alarm cal as to the sight of the falcon, which was quite high up) it immediately crouched horizontally on the line, appearing to be ready to take flight, but then relaxed once the falcon had flown on.
