Hi
Kym,
I think that is an impressive photo "Bait Ball for Raptor" and it is a
Brown Goshawk, not a Collared Sparrowhawk. The clear features are round tail,
features of head and beak shape, middle toe similar length to other toes,
plumage pattern of an immature bird, Collared Sparrowhawks don't go through that
stage. And size compared to Starlings would be too big for a Collared
Sparrowhawk.
As for
the others, yes Brown Falcon & Black Kites but the one bird on the right on
the fence of the two Black Kites on the fence, does not fit a Black
Kite but too hard to see what. I can't pick a Little Eagle or
Whistling Kite in the photos.
We
have had many records of single Black Kites in our area, mostly in summer. I
wonder how many there have been of two or more.

Bait Ball for a Raptor Feel this is a collard sparrowhawk
if wrong please correct me
small section of the photo
Taken today in the ACT
Also of great interest was NUMEROUS whistling kites
LITTLE EAGLE I THINK in one area, the three photos show
9 kites one little eagle
POOR QUALITY was out of my range due to the disbelievers I took
them anyway
Hobbies and numerous brown falcons as well these well be added as I do
them
