The photo of the Pacific Baza is fantastic with the light shining through the feathers to show the patterns.
Hi Tony
Both birds are ones I remember only from trips north - too long ago.

Awesome Tony. I love these 2 raptors are superb. Love the Kite one.
Hi Mick: I was bit lucky to get such a snap shot. Birds usually much higher above me in trees.
Hi Denis: And I'd stay south in meantime if I were you. This is going to be a long, long wet. Plus, many more cyclones this season.
Hi Mark: Thanks, mate. Had high hopes for series on kites. Now, they've quit the lagoons and gone back to, of all things, scavenging along the highways - and roadside flood creeks.
