Walking along the edge of the Canning river this morning i managed to capture a few birds some of which are new to me .
Also spotted high up and about 1km away a hawk,as always to far for a decent shot but i took a couple just in case.
One day aa i will get close to one..
Nice shot of the Shrike there ol mate.
They are hard to get near,well done.
Thanks Tassie,its good to see someone comment on it.
rosella the hawk was miles away and taken on full 300mm zoom i know its a RS shot but i just wanted our mate aa to see that i actually do see hawks but can't get close to them..
That's a lovely photo of the Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike with very good feather detail.
The photo of the bird of prey shows very good shape and colour. Because of the very broad wings and tail shape, I would think it would be a kite, harrier or hawk. The Brahminy kite has a white head and breast, like yours. The square-tailed kite is another possibility.
We need Dennis to help here.
Pretty sure it's a Whistling Kite, could be a Little eagle but I'm going for WH K. over to you Denis.
