@birdlifeoz.bsky.social My phone camera isn’t powerful enough to identify this bird but it’s huge. It’s on the top of a building in Parramatta. My guess is it might be some sort of raptor.

I’m in awe of the sight of men on the arm of a rooftop crane which they’re preparing to be dismantled. The crane on the ground will do the next bit. 😱🤓

I’m guessing this is a bit of the crane being dismantled. It’s almost 6 o’clock on a Friday afternoon so I hope it won’t be hanging there overnight or for the weekend. 😱🤓

Does anyone know what this is? I’ve moved into a new home and it’s on the wall below a bracket for a TV so I’m guessing it has something to do with that.
