It looks like a Little Eagle to me. Can
not see the under wings and the M but the tail certainly looks like a LE and
the front coloring is not a WK.

Subject: [canberrabirds] Fw: Do
whistling kites have crests?
Can anyone positively identify this raptor for me please.
Fyshwick sewerage ponds yesterday morning.
At the time I thought "whistling kite" but i was busy trying
to get a picture.
My concern is the "crest"
which is visible from more than one angle in all the snaps I took ; except for
the last.
