On the first visit to Lake Tutchewop on my two day trip into Northern Victoria, we failed to find the Orange Chats but we did find quite a few shore birds along the drying beach and mudflats. Watching them with keen eyes from the nearest higher vantage points were a pair of Brown Falcons.

Great find Malt. Brown Falcon is one of the prettiest raptors to capture flying, I love seeing their plumage patterns in full sunlight. I wonder if they are a breeding pair? We have an almost birdless summer due to heat and dry. I think they knew to find better places to nest and keep cool.
