The most birds of prey we have encountered so far during our Bird Trails surveys was at Mary Glen, a working cattle property in the Mary Valley. Seventy three species of birds were recorded during our stay, including Black-shouldered Kite, Spotted Harrier, a new species for me, Whistling Kite, White-bellied Sea-Eagle, Brown Goshawk, and we heard a Barn Owl calling during the night.

Like those above, the spotted harrier shits caught my eye! Well done!
Very nice shots of the flying birds of prey!
Hard to capture raptors. Nice work!
Never heard of Spotted Harrier Neil, but nice shots to show me what it looks like - another one of the "Circus" family I guess.
great looking raptors. Would like to see one for myself. :)
