Square tailed Kite and Magpies

[Alan]

This bird was quietly minding it's own business cruising low over the dunes



When a couple of magpies took exception to it's presence.

Great timing Alan. Maggies are very territorial. That 16-300 looks as though it cuts the mustard as a walk around lens. I'm nearly convinced

Good series Alan. Kites are not particularly popular in birdland, the woodswallows up here pursue them without mercy

Great captures. Always amazes me when I see smaller birds chasing/attacking raptors.
