Black kite had picked up the fish from the water surface. The catch was quite big and its claws were not able to hold on to it. Moving ahead he dropped the catch.

Wow surely a big catch. Nice flight pose and eye contact. I would have liked more details in the eye. Is it due to the crop? Is the AF point on the fish? Thanks for sharing.
Nice image Atul. The black kite has adapted itself to cities extremely well. Nice to see it with a fish. Agree with Mrudul on the focal point. Thanks for sharing.
