Whistling Kites were putting on a great show in a stiff breeze for the birdos present.

Torrens is pretty good, I've never seen one on Red Hill...

Beautiful photos.
Must have been the same ones we saw earlier that day, but unfortunately we have been asked to limit our sightings of the same birds in this area.

I was at the wetlands on 28th April and I saw a juvenile sea-eagle! A bit of a surprise, but unfortunately it scared all the other birds off.
