Evening walk

A big whoosh just above my head let me know that I was being dive bombed by that bird again. Tonight I had a good enough look at it to know it is some kind of hawk. After it swoops me it rises and settles on a high branch in a gum tree. We watch each other for a half minute or so then it launches off, wings wide and sails down in an arc straight at me. It is hard to stand still as it gets close but I did and it passed only a metre or so above me. I think I heard the call of a second one too, so perhaps there is a nesting pair. If so I am going to get swooped many more times.
