Raptor - Pacific Baza?

Bad photo, far away in the tree.

Surely has to be a Pacific Baza?

Wonder its its male or female

Hi Magpie
Looks right for that species - to me.
Were you within its known distribution range?

NSW Central Coast

First time I've ever seen this bird so pretty exciting!

Well you are within its range - just.
Probably on the far southern end of its range - but with global warming, these things are definitely changing.
I have only ever seen it near Coffs Harbour, years ago.
Nice find, Magpie.

So are they fairly rare these days? Or just an uncommon site?
