Families Accipitridae and Falconidae
This group of diurnal birds of prey consists of kites, hawks and eagles (Accipitridae) and falcons (Falconidae).
Sixteen of the 24 Australian raptors have been recorded in the survey, with eleven recorded fairly often. Most do not favour the suburbs but are still recorded because they are generally large birds and are easily seen. Single birds are observed passing over or through the garden.
A number of raptors have been recorded occasionally in the survey, including Whistling Kite (10 records), Grey Goshawk and Black Falcon (8), White-bellied Sea Eagle (5), Swamp Harrier (4), Black Kite (3), and Spotted Harrier (1).
Although most frequently observed raptors breed locally, the number of breeding records of raptors is very low because they nest away from suburban areas.
