Whistler (Haliastur sphenurus)

Finally we were on board the boat and ready for our Murray River trip. A dream of mine since childhood.

And.... the clouds of the morning had gone and the sun was shining.

We soon got across to the what I thought was the other side of the river, but in fact it was an island and we went through a gap to the main river.

On another snag was this handsome Whistling Kite.
