I was a bit lucky to see this bird. On the way out, the very restless and nervous Little Corellas took fright yet again, and in lots of twenty or so they flocked over me - then I saw the back of this bird flying with them, which at first I thought was raptor! Then I saw the dangly legs after taking shots from the first. Luckily some were in focus/close to focus. Have I take this species here before? Will have to look back.
