Different whistling kites

This morning I went to a favourite place I haven't been to for a few months and saw lots of whistling kites

I saw one drop to the ground to get prey. It's right in the middle. You don't often see them on the ground

It leaned over to pick the prey up

It took off with the prey in its talons and its head bowed down looking at it

Prey is in its talons

One flew towards me

It was looking down at me

It flew around me in slow circles

I had my camo gear on

Maybe it was trying to work out if I was animal, vegetable or mineral

I saw this BOP flying very high. It was small and dark.

The wings in this shot make it look like a Little falcon/Australian hobby
I also saw a white-bellied sea eagle
