The landowner who has been hosting the Banded Lapwings on the Plain has advised 
"Riding to Bungendore this morning at about 6 am and I could hear B Lapwings calling . After sometime I noticed them attacking /chasing a raptor , which I think was a Whistling Kite. This was along past the three humps where the paddocks to the west are full of serrated tussock only about 5-6 k from Bungers.  I mention this as the birds , BL  , maybe more widespread then we have thought, and perhaps in the past due to camouflage, lack of people looking/knowing have been more common then we think ?. "
