Great shot. As kids in India, we used to have our lunch in the play ground with 40-50 black kites circling overhead. We used to throw food to get them to swoop down very close to us. Guess health and safety wont allow that now:)

Just looked up wiki and found out that black kites are the worlds most abundant amongst the Accipitridae.

What a great flight shot, with lovely eye contact too.

Very well done Ken - it's just a shame we've had to wait so long before seeing this lovely guy.
