Hi all,

 

Observed from my front yard in Albion Park this morning were 2 similar
looking raptors. 

The camera was nearby so I managed to get some individual shots as well as a
couple of the birds soaring together for a brief period.

 

Photos can be found at the links below. I'd be interested to hear the
opinions of seasoned raptor spotters as to the identity of the 2 birds and
why.
