Black Kite flocks

["Matthew Herring" <>]

G'day Simon,

Until about six months ago i had never seen a Black Kite in the Albury-Wodonga region (i've been here nearly seven years), except for a couple of regular haunts (e.g. Lavington tip and Hume Hwy near Wangaratta). They are 'everywhere' now and sightings continue to flood in, the largest group being about 50 but mostly just ones and twos. Cheers, Matt Herring.
