    3.79 31 Field Notes on the Black Falcon By GEORGE W. BEDGGOOD, Lindenow South, Victoria, 3866. Because of the dearth of published records for Falco subniger in Victoria and southern New South Wales, I have summarised all my observations from 1955 to 1978. Wheeler ( 1967) lists it as "rather rare" but records it for all districts of Victoria. Although a bird of the drier inland plains, its nomadic wanderings may result in unexpected appearances outside its normal range. Factors affecting a regular food supply, such as drought, no doubt are responsible for such movements. Because its non-hunting flight is so "crow-like" it could easily be mistaken as "a corvid". The dark sooty-brown plumage which appears black, particularly when the bird is some distance from the observer, or when seen in silhouette, its similar size and general outline could all contribute to mistaken identification. When hunting, its flight is typically falcon-like, swift and calculated. Due to its size and lack of pattern in the plumage it ought not be confused with any other falcon. Between September 1955 and December 1956 I was able to record the species at Jindera, N.S.W., and in Victoria at Bonegilla and Corryong. The Jindera bird was my first experience with the Black Falcon. A farmer travelling in the car and knowing my interest in birds remarked that a pair had been seen frequently in the district. Approaching Jindera we flushed a bird from a telephone post. The farmer immediately identified it as a Black Falcon. It flapped and glided to a windbreak some distance away, its flight no different to that of the many corvids we had passed since leaving Albury.

  • German Immigrants to Albury
    GERMAN IMMIGRANTS Edited article by Mrs Jenny Paterson (reprinted from August 1986 A&DHS Bulletin No 241 and originally written for the Burwood-Drummoyne Family History Group, 1986) German Immigrants from Baden and Nassau The Macarthur family set the ball rolling in 1838 with the importation of six families of German vintners from the Rheingau to be employed in the development of viticulture on their property at Camden. The experiment was successful and five years later another group was recruited. By the time the contracts of this group were due to expire, moves were being made by a number of wealthy landholders in NSW to persuade the Colonial Government to pay bounties for the importation of foreign workers skilled in the cultivation of the vine, and in other fields where British expertise was not available. The regulation of April 7, 1847 gave the government’s authorization, and a list of persons to whom permission had been granted to import foreign workers under the scheme was drawn up. In 1850 the Hamburg Consul in Sydney, Wilhelm Kirchner, gathered up a number of letters written home to relatives and friends, including 16 of them in the second edition of his book “Australia and its advantages for Emigrants.” By far the longest and most descriptive letter in the book is that written by Peter Frauenfelder to his numerous relations in the Mannheim- Heidelberg area of Baden. There is also a letter from Sebastian Schubach and two from his wife, Maria Eva Schubach. These two families, together with that of Heinrich Rau, spent two years working on the William Walker & Co property of Kyeamba, after which they moved to Albury and settled there.
