A different perspective. The image gives an impression that it is flying through vegetation. I wonder, how they don't get hit.

Nicely captured. The details on the wings are good, a slight higher aperture would have got them more in focus.

Maybe we can have a thread on how birds fly :).

Nice image Bibhav, no nits here.

Lovely image and rare angle.. Bibhav.
It seems, kite was gliding around at 30-40 ft from you.

Yes Sagar,
It was really close... :)
I had moved close to the carrion these guys were feeding on, so could get some close shots...
