A day full of raptors

I spent this morning driving the back roads between Lower Light and Hamley Bridge looking for raptors.

Within 200m of Port Wakefield Road I saw the first of many Spotted Harriers. This one came and checked me out and at one point was too close to photograph.



In the same area were a pair of Black Kites, and one shot was photo-bombed by a Black-shouldered Kite which then thermaled with the other birds.






Other common birds were Australian Kestrel and Brown Falcon
