Black Shouldered Kite, Turramurra, northern Sydney

["Tom and Mandy Wilson" <>]

Hi all
a pair of Black Shouldered Kite flew over my house today, approx 4:30pm, 
which is not one of the more common raptors around here.  They were quite 
high up and mixed in with a large flock of swifts, but there was no 
interaction noted between the birds.  They came up from NE and circled off 
to SW.  Interestingly, they held their wings in strong dihedral like a tiny 
Sea Eagle, which is why that is what I initially thought they were until I 
got the bins on them.
Also seen from the house today was a Noisy Miner chasing a Welcome Swallow.
Cheers
Tom Wilson
