Liam and Treanne's House-warming

A lovely evening in a tropical setting at Liam and Treanne's house-warming. The dress suggestion for the cocktail party was formal so it was great fun dressing up.

The stylish clothes were great to see, normally people dress very casually In Darwin.

The raptor display was disturbed by the local kites harassing the birds on show especially the Crested Hawk or (Pacific Baza) (Aviceda subcristata) which was somewhat rattled by the Black Kites. More information Crested Hawk Fact sheet
