Observation details
Early one morning, on the banks of the Bogan River at Nyngan, I watched this raptor calling and flying. It had a nest high in the trees. The bird departed from and returned to its nest a couple of times while I watched. Each time it left the nest, the bird would circle high in the sky, or swoop down over the river. There were a few other birds circling too, so I can’t be sure that all the photos are of the same bird. More details, including a video of the bird's call, are on my blog: https://sydneybirder.com/2024/05/26/whistling-kite-on-the-bogan-river/
