Photographed this Black Kite at Hasserghata last week.

Canon 50D, 100-400mm L IS USM, ISO 200, 1/1000, f6.3, hand held.

Comments and Critiques welcome.

Nice details in the neck area. You can play around a bit more in the wing area.
A question to expert birders: Any idea why this is called a Black Kite even though it is brown?

Lovely behaviour captured. Great that the bird is sharp. The upstroke of the wings is nice. It seems the kite is struggling to hold onto the branch. It is good that the head is not in the shade. I wish for some more drama in the sky like clouds etc. That would have further enhanced a lovely image. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi
