Ive read a couple of articles recently ( see one link below) reporting a
current major rat plague in far western Queensland with huge numbers of raptors
including Letter-winged Kites present.
Ive read many times in field guides etc that after these rat plagues die out
that the Letter-winged Kites will often disperse to areas far beyond their
usual range.
Not sure where the plague is currently at but its worth birders being aware of
the possibility of this irruption occurring at some point.
Would love to think we might get some reports in or close to Brisbane./Sth-east
Queensland!!
Does any one have any updated information on the current situation with the
plague?
