• Elhamma australasiae

  This specimen shows a red colour in hind wings and thorax, an exposed abdominal tuft. Estimated 24mm long overall. In a local nature reserve adjoining a national park. Many Elhamma australasiae ♂ I have seen this year have shown some natural variation but this red has never been seen before. The males of Elhamma also show a white flash on the side

  Showing glabrous penultimate branchlet. This is a key feature that distinguishes this species from A. verniciflua (Bacchus Marsh variant), cf. observation 904.

• Accipiter fasciatus Brown Goshawk

  Brown goshawk in Newell's Paddock, Footscray. The long rounded tail identified the bird as goshawk, not sparrowhawk, which has square tail.
