Nice patterns formed by the branches. Brahminy kites are sighted a lot in the cities, but in Sunderbans this was the only sighting. Is there some reason they are getting rare there? Thanks for sharing.

It was a nice sighting. The depth of field here is nice and shows the tree with branches. The f8 aperture and the distance of the subject has resulted in greater depth of field. I remember seeing Brahminy kites more during my childhood days. We used to consider it as a good omen. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
