“…The undertail-coverts were an orange-apricot colour. Moult of the outer rectrices was evident and these were about half length (Adekola et al 2021) The frequency of sightings made at both North Lake and South Lake suggests that the Eurasian Hobby remained near these lakes during the periods when the birds were regularly seen. The longest continuous period that a Hobby was observed in any single season was 12 weeks, wheras the Hobbies usually spend 4-6 months on their wintering grounds (Cramp 1980;Meyburg et al 2011).…”

All Australian records of the Eurasian Hobby Falco subbuteo are summarised. Before 2016, the only Australian records of the Eurasian Hobby were on external territories to the north-west of the mainland. Each year between 2016 and 2021 a single Eurasian Hobby was observed as an austral summer visitor to the Swan Coastal Plain in south-western Western Australia. These sightings involved an adult in 2016, 2019 and 2020, and single immature birds in 2017–2018. The age of the Hobby seen in 2020–2021 was undetermined. As it appears that multiple individuals have been recorded across years, it is likely that the species is now more than just an accidental vagrant to Australia.

“…The deep-red thighs and undertail-coverts did not show any discernable streaking. A photograph taken on 4 January 2020 shows only three barred outer rectrices, indicating that moult of rectrices R2 and R3 was in progress (Zuberogoitia 2018;Adekola et al 2021).…”
