Observation details
BARC accepted and specimen to museum.Cinnamon Bittern. Whilst driving south of Broome over the weekend Chris Hassell, Nick Ward etal were driving along when they noticed a Brown Falcon take flight off the side of the road carrying a medium sized bird with long legs. The bird circled and landed behind them just off the road. They reversed the car and the Falcon again took flight leaving the prey on the ground. The prey turned out to be a very freshly killed Adult Male Cinnamon Bittern. The bird was taken back home and was sent to the Museum. Its a great specimen and is the first mainland Australian record.
