This Square-tailed Kite is a common site in the sky when I’m out walking in the evening. It is one of the large kites between 50-55 cm and one of the long-winged raptors that like to spend their time soaring up high over the treetops. This one was a good distance away when I managed to take this photo. They can range in an enormous territory, up to 100 sq km and live in most parts of Australian.

About me
margosnotebook
Margo is the companion of an elderly shitz-tu who likes daily walks and homemade food. In a moment of madness or lucidity (depending on her mood) she fled the corporate world to watch clouds, touch foliage and smell the earth and adopted a somewhat nomadic lifestyle on the east coast of Australia, interspersed with the odd trip overseas. An elusive figure she can sometimes be seen poking about amoung the Aboriginal shell middens on the beaches that surround the sea-side village where she lives, or striding past the kangaroos sunbaking on the grassy headlands. When the weather is dry she is known to retreat to the quiet hum of the Australian bush where she wanders contentedly, accompanied by birdsong and scuttling skinks. http://margosnotebook.wordpress.com
