We've had an Australian Whistling Kite visiting the farm the last few weeks, it is helping keep the rabbit population under control. Rabbits are not native to Australia and are an introduced pest that compete with native wildlife.
I am absolutely loving the chance to get up close with this raptor. It seems to have become somewhat comfortable with me being fairly close to it, I'm pretty still and don't disturb the animals it is hunting, so that probably helps.
I've got a few more animals that I'm keeping track of and trying to get good photos of, I'll post them if I ever succeed!
