Re: Unidentified Raptor

Daniel,

The bird is totally the wrong shape for a Black-shouldered Kite. I agree with others that it is a Grey Goshawk but not totally convinced as to what colour morph it is.

Looking again I see black on the wingtips, so I think it could be a Black-shouldered Kite.

Does anyone else think that?

Yesterday I went to Jerrabomberra Wetlands.

I came since I wanted to see what Kellys Swamp looked like since the last time I came here which was December it was drought.

I was surprised to see the Swamp covered in weeds instead of water which I thought it would be.

The main reason why I'm writing this is because I saw a raptor high up in the sky where there were Swallows mobbing it or staying away from it.

I couldn't ID the bird, so I'm asking if anyone may know what it is.

Here are the links to the photos:
