what chance an upcoming eruption of Letter-winged Kites?

[david taylor <>]

Ive read a couple of articles recently ( see one link below) reporting a 
current major rat plague in far western Queensland with huge numbers of raptors 
including Letter-winged Kites present.
Ive read many times in field guides etc that after these rat plagues die out 
that the Letter-winged Kites will often disperse to areas far beyond their 
usual range.
Not sure where the plague is currently at but its worth birders being aware of 
the possibility of this irruption occurring at some point.
Would love to think we might get some reports in or close to Brisbane./Sth-east 
Queensland!!
Does any one have any updated information on the current situation with the 
plague?
