Two brilliantly detailed and interesting behavioural shots, Gary.

That's a fabulous flight capture Gary. Wonderful birds these aren't they.

I had quite a few sightings of them in Queensland, but even more in South Australia. I don't remember seeing any in WA though. Great memories - thanks lad.

Great action and behavioral picture of this Kite, obviously knowing what it is doing. Brilliant Gary!
