The Flight..

[Bhargav Narayan]

Capturing birds has started giving me so much of high that i am loving to spend more time on the same.

The image below was shot near a lake very close to my house. To me it looks like a Brahminy kite (sub adult) - would request the members to confirm on this..

Hi Bhargav,
You are right about the ID. It is indeed a Juv. Brahminy kite. I like the downwing position. If this is a crop then I would like to see some more space up front. Also the sharpness can be increased a bit.
Thanks for sharing.

Superb. I love the down stroke of the wings. Eye contact is good.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi
