Looks like a Little Eagle to me too.

Hi there,
We had a great weekend away in Mudgee last weekend. Thanks to all
those who
answered my RFI. Though we didn’t spend time doing any serious
birding, it
was so nice to enter a different birdscape – without a doubt the
bird of the
trip was the Yellow-rumped Thornbill. We saw them EVERYWHERE,
starting at
the rest area in Capertee, and of course they don’t occur where we
are in
the Blue Mountains, so it was a lovely sight (and sound) - albeit
common in
that area. On the way up we dipped on Regent Honeyeater at Crown
Station
Road in the Capertee Valley, although Carol Probets, who we bumped
into
there, found one - so the Noisy Miners haven't driven them out
entirely. We
saw plenty of Wedgies and a flock of at least 25 Yellow-tailed Black
Cockatoos flew over on Saturday.Aside from the Jacky Winters, the
birds at
Munghorn Gap were on strike while we were there.
For those interested in birding in the Mudgee region, there is a
brochure
available from Mudgee tourism called “Bird Watching in the Mid-Western
Region of NSW”, which I believe is produced in conjunction with
Cudgegong
Field Naturalists. It’s a great resource for those who are
unfamiliar with
the area and its birds.
On the way back to the Blue Mountains we saw a raptor perched in a
tree – I
wonder if anyone can help me identify it? You can hopefully find it
at:
m("N07/","//www.flickr.com/photos/30308243");">http: (called "unidentified
raptor").
I do hope there's enough detail there, it's a very poor shot.
cheers,
Arwen
