Thanks again!

Looking at these photos I am thinking it's between the Brown Falcon and the Brown Goshawk. I have looked at photos of these before but the pics in the post above do look similar. I would try to take a photo but it is probably a bit tricky when you are jumping up and down!!! (Laughing out loud)! At least I haven't seen it tonight....yet!

Haha, okay!

Yeah - I am thinking it would be the Brown Falcon more than any of the above! :hap:

Hope you can scare the bugger off permanently!! :devil:

 

Let us know how you go!! :hap:

Just thought I would add - it has been nearly 36 hours since I have seen the enemy! Hopefully that means he has given up and gone elsewhere!

My twelve are dancing!!!!

I really hope that it stays that way

I have been having many difficulties within the past 6 months with Butcher birds.

There have been 2 juveniles that are an olive/brown in colour and are not afraid of me.

I get to within 2 metre's before they move about 10 metre's away.

1 has moved on but one remains and is as bold as ever. It was responsible for the death of my canary a couple weeks ago.

 

 

I have identified it as a Grey Butcher bird - sounds like it could be your predator too:

"Juvenile Grey Butcherbirds are brown and buff in colour"

Thanks for those links Karen, but no it's not a Butcherbird. I know those. Well, it's been about 56 hours since I have seen this bird, so I am starting to relax a little.

 

Hopefully he's gone for good!

I hope your stubborn butcher bird moves on very soon Karen.

I reckon! Sing and dance away! Yay!!
