Observation details
Possibly female (adult) flying slowly over property. Bird circles over area with slight gain of height. Male in garden calling - territorial ki ki ki ki ki. Female makes short brief flaps, gains height and then closes wings to body making shallow dives. Does this repeatedly. Eventually joined by male and they take off in a paired more active flight over wider area. Often flying apart before briefly coming close - did this repeatedly. Twists and turns in synchronously before going out of view. Above happened over 15 mins. Immature (?male) later perched in garden with fairly full crop. Watched for over 20mins before took off with Pied Butcherbird harassing it. The adult female did fly through with numerous birds in attendance and simply watched by the immature.
