Hello Paul.
The colouration and behaviour that you describe sound very much like
a Black-shouldered Kite.
Thanks Dimitris.
Checking online, the pic here....
http://www.blackcormorant.net/2007/02/blackshouldered_1.html looks
very much like the one I saw. It was very elegant, and in a very
similar pose to this pic (although the wings were moving
<grin>). I'd just never seen a black and white bird of prey
before. Very, very cool.
Thanks heaps. Definitely not something I've ever been aware of seeing before.
Thanks again.
Cheers.
