    Default Black Kite!

    Shot this at Hessarghatta on Saturday, it was nice to watch the BK hold a mud/clay ball in its beak for long time. I am told 2 reasons about this typical behavior in Kites, they tend to play with other BK's and each one tries to snatch it, be it a catch or any other material. Secondly in some occasions this behavior is observed while the BK try and destroy the anthills to flush out the termites and feed on them. However these are just observations and are yet to be confirmed.

    Your comments on this behavior are welcome.
