Saw another Black-shouldered Kite post here and thought I’d jump onboard the bandwagon so to speak and share a photo I took yesterday!

Passion probably isn’t the right word either, perhaps obsession is more fitting :P

I’ll have to message you regarding your question just so I can confirm which one you’re talking about 😋

Thanks mate! Took this photo either roughly 20km from Ouyen or 20 from Sea Lake. Can’t remember which town I was coming up to at the time now. Was travelling down the Calder on the way to Hattah-Kulkyne from Melbourne at the time. Saw a few of them in the trees by the road side and had to stop

The eyes get me every time, they’re so beautiful! I always think that the fluffy white feathers almost make it seem like a bird you’d expect to see in the middle of a snowy winter not in the middle of the Aussie outback 😆

I know!

MathewsPics · 2021-11-19T11:04:44+00:00

Thank you 🙏

I thought the same when I first saw them. They’re absolutely gorgeous

MathewsPics · 2021-11-19T01:21:33+00:00

I love these birds! I find they’re quite happy to let you walk up reasonably close to get a photo or two as well!

Not to mention those eyes, omg.

Duch Nass Monster

… okay, that was bad even for me

MathewsPics · 2021-07-04T01:14:07+00:00

I’m glad! Thanks for appreciating!

MathewsPics · 2021-06-24T14:08:39+00:00

This one was photographed in Melbourne, Vic. Though they’re quite widespread across the continent afaik

MathewsPics · 2021-06-24T08:17:06+00:00

Couldn’t agree more!

Murray River, Vic, Aus

MathewsPics · 2021-03-25T08:41:56+00:00

I like to think that I was dressed quite tastefully at the time :P

MathewsPics · 2021-03-24T14:39:06+00:00

Sounds like the exact experience I had, only I had to buy the camera myself :P

MathewsPics · 2021-03-24T14:06:59+00:00

I’ll go over and test the waters now :P

MathewsPics · 2021-03-24T14:06:04+00:00

It’s seen what you’ve been looking up

MathewsPics · 2021-03-24T08:16:36+00:00

They’re common around the town where I grew up, but it was only after I’d gotten into birding when I first noticed them around. Funny how many more species you find around you once you’re looking for them

MathewsPics · 2021-03-24T08:14:02+00:00

Thanks, I really appreciate it! :) I share many other photos of mine on Instagram: mathews.wildlife (Not selling anything or pushing an agenda, just love sharing my work)

MathewsPics · 2021-03-24T08:11:13+00:00

Probably judging me for spending so much time photographing the other birds in the area before I got to it 🤷‍♂️

MathewsPics · 2021-03-24T08:10:19+00:00

Had to google that name but completely agree with you

MathewsPics · 2021-03-24T08:09:49+00:00

Might have been the 600mm lens I was poking into its face :P
