Years ago my wife and I were doing the ridge-top walk at Ormiston Gauge (west of Alice Springs) when a wedgie came along riding the updraft. It circled us three time pretty close before continuing along the ridge. It was probably thinking to itself "Gee, don't see many of them up here". I was glad I'm not a rabbit.
One way to identify soaring birds is the way they hold their wings. Both wedgies and sea-eagles soar on up-swept wings and the 'fingers' at the wing-tips are very prominent. Little Eagles soar on flat horizontal wings while kites have a down-curved wings.
