Hamirostra melanosternon
The black-breasted buzzard (Hamirostra melanosternon) or black-breasted kite, is a large bird of prey in the family Accipitridae and the monotypic genus Hamirostra. It is sometimes known as the black-breasted kite, but is neither a kite nor a buzzard, rather a kind of eagle.
Phillip Island Wildlife Park
The park had provided large enclosed areas for these big birds, but it was still heartbreaking to see them confined.
