Whistling Kites duels

On my way down south on Tuesday I happen to spot this spectacle on Beach near Busselton.

Sadly lot of the action was out to sea as these birds seem to be recreating the Battle of Britain :)

Marvellous shots, laza. And a wonderful spectacle. I wonder if this was a battle or a social event (although I realise sometimes the two overlap!).

What a sight ! - great photos of the action . Very nicely captured against the blue sky. 

I have seen 5 whistling kites doing this - my impression was it was a social activity or maybe just plain fun.

Thanks for the kind comments,

I had never seen this many kites involved in such an activity though my impression it was a social activity

Dont take life too seriously, it never ends well
