Black in the blue (Milvus migrans)

With still an hour to go before dinner at the hotel and wondering how to fill in the time, I suggested we stop by the river and see if we could get access to it. It was one of my better suggestions, we found a parking area beside the bridge.

As we tried to get a feel for the place I spotted a Black Kite flying over. Rather high, but I'm quite pleased with the result.

PS: concerning the cormorants, they may be breeding locally in the Grenoble area, but I don't often come across them in the breeding season in the places I regularly visit
