Young Brahminy Kite off nest to less than flier


Quitting home for first time takes nerve for a big bird. This juvenile Brahminy Kite in Cape Pallarenda Conservation Park yesterday perhaps lost confidence after quitting nest up above. Though it showed no sign of panic or fear when I came upon it, not much above head height. No sign of it today. Nor any adult. Hope to see it flying - and, common error, being mistaken for Little Eagle - in next few days.



On the ground yesterday in the park, Double-barred Finches drink at pool below bountiful dripping tap.


Brown-backed Honeyeater - slower to descend to drink a day before.
