Monday morning we saw at Kelly's

White Bellied Sea Eagle - which flushed a dozen cattle egrets
Little Eagle
A pair of Black Shouldered Kites,  one later eating on a fence post
Emacs!
Then a small  raptor hunting successfully , which we were having difficulty identifying
until we met Steve, obviously a member of this list, who kindly helped us - Thanks!!

Emacs!

So when we re-encountered the bird and examined the site of the kill Steve
 suggested that the indications were of a Double Barred finch (based on wing
feathers - no bones etc left)

Emacs!
The now-identified juvenile Collared sparrow hawk digesting on one leg
