Roger pointed out three birds present at the same time at Kelly's this
morning.

Helen showed me some images she had captured at Kelly's (not today) of
two Black-shouldered Kites fighting at Kelly's.

Just to make life even more miserable, a flock of Galahs spent several
minutes pestering (in flight) one of the Black-shouldered Kites.

Watching the flight pattern of the Galahs and of the Black-shouldered
Kite, it was quite clear that the Galahs were mobbing the
Black-shouldered Kite, at times deliberately flying very close to it. In
this case I define 'very close' as less than a meter.

regards

Con
