Black Shouldered Kite!

Shot this BSK on the way to Kabini, it was perched high up on a tree. Conditions were quite tough shooting against the sky and harsh light. This is a crop.

Gorgeous bird :). Nice composition. I would try playing with the levels a bit.

Pity about the light, these guys have wonderful red eyes.

I agree. I love their red eyes. I often see them perched on the electric wires, while driving to office. In good light, this would have been very nice.

Cheers,

I like the composition. It would have been lovely had the light been from the front side. A bit more details would have been nice. Thanks for sharing.
