Etiwanda Wetlands is a man-made wetlands that is used to treat stormwater at Mildura. Like many such wetlands, it is full of wildlife ranging to ducks to small birds (including the sort after Purple-backed Fairywren) and, of course, raptors. We visited this location twice and we have seen a Collared Sparrowhawk, a resident Whistling Kite and a Black Kite. This photograph of the Black Kite was taken on the morning of 7 September 2024.
