Was this part of his display flight? Would have loved to see that. We only saw one, quite distant and flying away

a marvelous photo of this attractive kite, Delia, wonderful colours and a great pose, top quality capture, many tfs!!!

I didn't see them in Australia, but had the chance to see them in Singapore. Concerning the white tail tip, "Raptors of the World", by J. Ferguson-Lees and David A. Christie reads "... contrasting bright chestnut on rest of body, wing-coverts, thighs and tail, though the latter has paler tip which varies from narrow to broad and white in east;". Your photo is taken in the eastern edge of its distribution range, so that seems to correspond.

Best wishes, take care, JJ

A photo as fine
as a Cadbury's egg
to a starving chocoholic, D.
You saved the best till last. Lovely.
