Hi birders

Working on a small farm near Echuca (about 1km along the Echuca-Serpentine Road from the Murray Valley Hwy) yesterday, found a lone Letter-winged Kite being harrassed by a pair of Black-shouldered Kites. It repeatedly went to roost in the foliage near the top of a large River Red Gum, and was repeatedly mobbed into flight again by its relatives. Eventually they left it alone for a while and it stayed concealed in the canopy of the RRG until after I moved on.

Otherwise not too much going on there - the odd Black & Whistling Kites, Barn Owls (at night) ....
