Back garden in Clark rd, Ivanhoe, overlooking Darebin creek |
| 2.300 pm - Good-sized pure white bird, no markings, flew into back garden, behind trees. I went out to check and it flew off at once, giving me good view of its upper surface. Definitely White Goshawk - I once saw one here a year or two ago. Possibly attracted by neighbour's cage-birds. |
