Thanks mccamli

Was that our Hobby friend at Herdsman? Well done on the shots as they move so very fast!! Love the colours on the heron shots too

Thanks Tanya,I think you're correct, it does look like one of our friends though the colours looked wrong to me at first. It seems to be a young one which looks similar to a young peregrine falcon ()both have the dark eye surround). It did one of the falcon's tell tale dives and that had me blinkered. There were two of them together. I returned today and disturbed a raptor from the tree I was standing under but no one was flying.
I'm still trying to catch a good pick of one of the whistling kites but I'm too impatient and get distracted by the wildlife...then I realise there's been one overhead and I've missed my chance lol
