Lovely take off pose captured. Good eye contact and the catch-light. Lot of black kites can be seen in that area these days. They even mob the other raptors. Thanks for sharing.

Technology at its best in this soaring style of flight. Nicely captured. Our friend, a black kite is controlling wingspread, tail, finger-like spread of the wing-tips.......
I do not know whether you have read M.Krishnan's article on this bird reproduced in our Natural History column.
Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

Nice to see a black kite landing. Some more depth of field would have been even better. Once when I was driving in Bangalore, I saw a black kite dive on a truck carrying chicken waste and pick up one piece after another. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
