BIG MOON......

..... finally a BIG Moon and no cloud!  
Only issue I nearly forgot and my earlier plan "back when" was to get over to the coast and get it as it came over the horizon, BUT all we have is it over the skies here at home!

Bright and sparkling in my "starry effect" .... 

Another superb warm (28degC) Autumn day, so needing to go down town, we made a "detour" on the way home to a new lagoon had not been to yet. The Council have actually built a hide which is good, except today to start nothing.

Then the Welcome Swallows started to do their rapid acrobatics, and feel lucky to have got the shot, they really do go at a rate of knots.

BUT, then out of no where this Raptor cruised on by watching intently for some tucker. Have a look here and here to see what I mean about keeping a good watch out.
Now, need help!

Not sure what of the Raptor family it is? I think a Harrier variety, but cannot pin it down, so any help appreciated.

Enjoy and have a look in  LARGE.

.. Covid news has our first stage of "exit" being brought in, with the State Govts being given the okay to act as they believe suits their State!
You guessed it, one of the "reliefs" just in time for Mothers Day is more people able to visit!
BUT, in New South Wales, sorry says Gladys (our Premier) I'll think it over during the weekend and review on Monday.
