Raptors of Straddie

Well Straddie again, in fact the same trip but didn't think these fitted with the last post. This time the Raptors of Main Beach. Main Beach is the eastern beach (ocean side) of North Stradbroke Island. I am doing the same surveys of birds as Flinders beach (northern beach)but from a car as it's to far to walk in a tide cycle.

However I did have to stop and get a few pictures of the White-bellied Sea-Eagle and the Whistling Kite, that were very low on the dunes as they are generally circling above out of range for my camera lens.
