On our verandah getting a bit of cooling breeze when a large shadow preceded a young White-bellied Sea Eagle which passed directly overhead but by the time I got back with the camera it had gained height in the updraft and circled out of sight. However as luck would have it a Square-tailed Kite came gliding in on the breeze and gave me enough time for a couple of shots before disappearing over the treeline.
I have previously posted a photo taken from a distance which lacked details of the markings that are good indicators for this species.
