The bird flew under our carport, sat on the drainpipe then flew off. It did not
seem very frightened. Apologies for the poor photo.

Tue 24 Dec Letter-winged Kite Port Wakefield
Up to six Letter-winged Kites consisting of five adults and a juvenile were
observed along Wakefield Creek on private farm land east of Port Wakefield. The
birds favoured the taller more dense Eucalypt trees but would perch on low dry
trees during the late morning were good views were afforded to the party of
observers.

Wed 18 Dec Little Bittern Ral Ral Creek at 34 07 46S, 140 45 09E
Heard but not sighted (I do have a faint recording that I matched with this
birds call on the Morecombe & Stewart app) in thick reed bed (including
Cumbungi along Ral Ral creek. Heard calling regularly from one side (site1) and
then later in day the other side of the creek (site 2). Heard again calling
regularly from site 1 on December 21st. Following noisy wake producing boats in
the creek the bird then disappeared. We were moored in a houseboat for several
days at this location. Site 1 was upstream approx 100 metres on port side and
site 2 was 50 metres upstream on starboard side.
