Finding Kempsey/South West Rocks raptors

Could anyone advise where it may be a good opportunity for me to photograph Eastern Osprey and/or Brahminy Kite in that area? I'll be up there in a couple of weeks and the first spot I could think of was the southern wall of the river at the mouth or around Trial Bay Gaol headland.

Thanks for any suggestions.

not sure about SW Rocks, but you could also try down the road at Hat Head.

saw a brahminy kite, pair of osprey and pair of sea eagles most days over 2 weeks last december, all spotted from the beach. usually flying up or down the beach above the scrub on the dunes along Bay St.

give the middle of the day a miss, more chance of seeing them during the morning or else late arvo as the offshore breeze picks up.

good luck

Mike
