Hi,
Unfortunately these aren't the greatest photos. Taken at Colac near the lake/swamp area at different times. I'm thinking a swamp harrier, but not sure..
N.b. the last picture, the one with the bird in flight was taken a different day and might not be the same bird (although I think it is.)
Thanks.
I would say a Swamp Harrier because the last photo looks just like one. the wings, head down and the tail. Happy to be corrected.

I think we'll need Steve Debus on this one...
Took som more photos today... still not the greatest quality, but ...
The first two perched in the tree don't give too much detail unfortunately, but could be Little Eagle, Whistling Kite (less likely as the bird is darkish) or Swamp Harrier. The last one of the first three indeed appears to be a Swamp Harrier.
The very latest shots are all Swamp Harrier.
Thanks :)
