Black shouldered kites

["roger curnow" <>]

 

This is one of those Kites, I guess.

I took the photo on Narrabundah Hill ten days ago.

It had much more brown on it then is evident in the photo and is very definitely a juvenile.

 

 

They seem to breed both spring and autumn.

I noticed a pair repairing a nest (out Dunlop way) last week.

Saturday they were very much into mating but have yet to lay eggs;
leastwise while both are sitting near the nest neither is sitting on it.
