Comment | The worn tail feathers suggest that this bird may be one of the breeding adults that had a nest on the edge of Yarrie Lake.There was plenty of fish in the lake and the birds managed to raise 2 chicks this season. The water level in the lake is now slowly dropping, exposing the fish to predators such as this Whistling Kite. This bird is in a dive and moments later it made a successful catch of a small fish. | ||||||||||||||||||
