Margaret - it flew straight over my place (also in Wanniassa), very high, at 6.30pm as I was watering the garden - and was headed in your direction - had come from Farrer direction.  I was thinking juvenile white-bellied sea-eagle - see the tail, which is not little-eagle-ish.  would appreciate confirmation from someone who's better at raptor ID.   The corellas, galahs, sulphur-crested were all wheeling about and creating a great hubbub.

I think this is a little eagle.  The cockies and parrots went berserk about half an hour ago, and I managed to get a shot of the reason for it.  Only a 200 mm lens, so can’t get better resolution than this.  I guess the JWNR doesn’t have much to offer at the moment.  I cannot recall another occasion of seeing a little eagle in this location.
