​There are twenty four diurnal raptor and ten owl species native to Australia. The Picture shows two different kites out of six - Whistling Kite and Black Kite. As you can see Black kite is distinctively darker than Whistling Kite and it has barred square tail. Hopefully one day I will have all the photos of Australian raptor.
