nice. But do you have any other shot (may be clicked few seconds later) that gives close view of these birds?

Hello Shrinidhi Hande,

Here is the one more image

Nice action-packed drama in the sky well captured. Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

Nice action captured. These days lot of black kites can be seen in that area. So there is competition for food and the black kites mob the bigger birds :(. Thanks for sharing.

Nice drama. I like the second version better due to the eye contact. The first one feels they are close, as the kite is near the wing tips. Photographically some separation is better. At times these can give you some dramatic images. Keep trying.
Cheers,
