Observations of Life in New Zealand (and sometimes beyond) through art, architecture, photography, travel, tourism, design, food, the quirky, the bizarre, the comedic - a few of the things I am passionate about. This is my world - a world of contemplations, observations and small adventures.

In Flight
Australian Outback. April 2008. Ajr
Hawk in flight - Cunnamulla, South west Queensland
Is this your Kestrel (heehee), they are very difficult to photograph when in flight unless hovering almost motionless above your head :) It's still an acomplishment to get more than a dark blur!
A kestrel..... didn't think I had it right. I BADLY needed a telephoto lens... this was taken with a tiny digital camera so I guess I'm lucky it's not a tiny pin-prick in the sky :-)

Actually, I'm pretty sure it's really a Black Kite because can see quite a bit more than just a pin-prick in the sky :)
I'll bow to your superior knowledge. I'm a New Zealander after all and some of those Outback 'birds' left me speechless.
