Hi Margaret,

Yes a Black Kite is correct. An easy one: the long, clearly forked tail shape, the all dark underwings, indeed generally dark with no obvious paler patches, fairly small feet, and dark patch around the eyes, all features, in combination or alone are distinctive for them.

And yes the next one is a

Whistling-kite

Whistling Kite.

This image was shot at the Water Treatment Plant, Werribee, last week. I have called it a Black Kite, but would appreciate confirmation because I am pretty hopeless with IDing raptors.

Many thanks
