Grey Goshawk (1): Black-shouldered Kite (2)
Louisa Creek twin bridges (corner Bruce Highway and Mather Street)
About 3:00pm as we travelled southward along Mather Street from Blakeys Crossing, a Grey Goshawk (grey) flew beside us. We also noticed 2 Black-shouldered Kites hovering above the adjacent grassy paddocks. In the previous two decades we have not seen the Grey Goshawk there. It is a few years since we have seen the Black-shouldered Kites there, when prior to this they were an "every-day bird" around Blakeys Crossing locality.
