Black Kite over Black Mountain?

["Philip Veerman" <>]

Or just during summer, when most records occur (which it is getting close to). I wonder if the factors getting them here are as quick as the weather over a few days.

Hi Donald and COG
members

Not sure of the weather in Canberra today, but we have hot NW
winds in Robertson today.

If that is the same in Canberra, Donald's
sighting fits with my experience in previous years. They blow in on the strong
North-westerlies, stay a few days and make their way back (presumably).
Certainly I have only ever seen them in Canberra in hot windy
conditions.

Cheers
Denis Wilson.

While walking over Black Mountain at 8:50 this morning, an apparent Black Kite went over.  Size and forked tail were correct, but my view was hampered by trees.  Did anyone else see one today?
