A very placid bird – with this bird allowing me to steadily move my tripod and gear to just below the branch it was perched on. You can watch a … More Square Tailed Kite – what a placid bird!
Fresh kangaroo will do…

I filmed this female Brown Goshawk on a fresh kangaroo (road kill) in the Bendigo region. Bold hunters – but happy to take carrion too.
