Pacific Baza

[Dominic Funnell <>]

Here in Yorkeys (suburb north of Cairns) the local Pacific Baza get very vocal 
and visible in the autumn / winter. Over the last couple of days I have been 
watching what I assume is their display flight; a single bird making a very 
undulating flight with the occasional roll but on about four occasions I have 
watched a bird wing clapping in a manner  similar to European Honey Buzzards.  
It goes up reasonably high and then descends in broad circles "clapping" its 
wings together above its body. Is this usual behavior as I can find no 
reference to it in my limited resources.
