Not all of the neighbours. We do have quite a few very interesting neighbours, but these are two of my favourites. They are Brahminy Kites, otherwise known as Fish Eagles or Red-backed Sea Eagles. They are the most intense chestnut colour with a pure white head. I think they are really gorgeous and I hope to get much better photos of them in the future. As Mr Sunshine and I went for our beach walks, I sometimes spotted one of them in a certain tree - the tallest tree in that part of the neighbourhood. Then one day as I was photographing him. His mate flew in to join him. That was even better.
On the way back I was checking to see if they were still there. They weren't, but then I glanced over at a slightly smaller tree nearby and saw their nest. How I had missed it before I don't know. It is several feet across and very high. No wonder they look at me in a very suspicious manner when I stop to take their photo. They have a lot at stake with a home to protect.
Needles to say, I will be watching this for further developments. I'll keep you posted if there is anything to report.
Wow! You sure have interesting neighbours. Look forward to hearing of any developments.
