Today at mid day, I was driving Long Gully
Road towards the Monaro highway and at the corner of Mugga Lane (near the tip)
(actually along Mugga Lane about 100M SE of the corner) I flushed a Black Kite that was eating something dead by the road. Actually it nearly
collided with the car. I wasn't really focussed on it at first. I just
thought it much too dark for a Whistling Kite. I had to keep driving then
stopped and turned back to be sure. I watched it for about two minutes flying
over the site. No doubt about the ID and the time of year is typical for their
occurrence in Canberra (and the site is unsurprising too).
