Whistler

Whistling Kite
(Lake Apex, Gatton, Queensland, September 1, 2008)



Got these pics with a Pentax D200 and Sigma 28-300mm f6.3 lens. Nice and portable but slow auto-focus. Was with some members of the Toowoomba Bird Observers and we were all clicking away happily. I regret that the originals are -j-pegs. I wish I'd set it to RAW.

I think they are great! We have seen a light brown coloured bird of prey - mid sized a lot lately flying overhead, but have no idea what it is. Brown colour similar to this one of the whistling Kite, but underneath colouring different. Fantastic - love your photos

Nice pics Russ and I think I have commented before that Whistling Kite is very much like our Red Kite.

Thanks for your comments J Gray and Phil. i think the raptor you have seen hanging around recently could be a Little Eagle, J Gray!
