Hello to everyone. My first time posting here and it's asking for help! :)
I'm thinking this might be a Black-shouldered Kite, but not 100% sure.
Was wandering through the house, looked out the window, saw the bird hovering, ran back to th office to grab the camera - so photo quality not great. Apologies!
I've managed to ID most of the bird breeds in and around our garden in the Gold Coast (we live very near the State forest).
Thanks in advance.

Wlecome Tracey!
Yes, you got it spot on! it's a black-shouldered kite
I hope that you enjoy the forums!
I'll 2nd that Black-shouldered Kite.
Terrific backdrop to your black-shouldered kite, Tracey.
Thank you all :)
Being a non native (Brit!!) - it's taken me some time to start id'ing local species, but I just love the wildlife we are privvy to here on the Coast.
We're lucky that although we live in suburbia,we're very close to the state forest Woko, the pic shows the forest nearby - about 50 metres away. Lots of wildlife!

Thanks Tracey. I wondered if that was state forest in the background. A precious piece of country.
