Dead branches are a favourite perch for the Brahminy Kite (Haliastur indus), unlike most the local birds use, this perch is quite low. It is at eye level when you drive past the beach, unfortunately when people stop he gets spooked, so he departed just after this.

ISO640, 840mm, f9, 1/3200, by Sony.

You can see the alarmed look in his pose, Greg. A very fine image of the Kite!
