Like many people, I was on the hunt for an Oriental Pratincole which was reported at the WTP recently. Unfortunately I didn't find it but was happy to find a pair of co-operative Black-shouldered Kites along Beach Rd and a Brown Falcon at the boat ramp. Both were pretty good consolation prizes. Thanks for viewing.
Very nice photos George and the one of the Falcon is a corker.

Wow George, amazing photos, just beautiful. I saw the same pair the week before, when we came out of Gate4, the Kite was attacking the Brown Falcon, just when my camera was on the Falcon sitting on a post, the Kite came down. It was right there, too close for the big lens to focus. One day? One day I hope to get good shots like you
Owen saw the Oriental Pratincole. We are still waiting to see you there one day.

Love these pics. We usually have to drive into more rural areas to see BOPs.

Thanks all for the kind comments.
@ Araminta - M-L, I'm always looking out for BIBY members. I might go back soon to look for the Prati because it took me a few visits to find the Broad-billed SP when it was there earlier this year.
Cheers,
