Hi Cogsters.
Responding to Peter Ormay's comment and
Martin Butterfield's response, about Black-shouldered Kites, I drove from
Canberra to Robertson at lunchtime today (Tuesday).
I was amazed at the number of Kestrels and
BS Kites which I saw hovering beside the road, between north Canberra and
Goulburn. Without having made a conscious count, I would say more than 15 birds
- roughly evenly split. The weather was mild, and with a moderate wind, which
possibly favours aerial hunting.
I assume it to be a seasonal burst in
activity, as I drive that route on a monthly basis (on average) and would expect
to see just a few of either species along the way.
Cheers
