Black-shouldered Kite
A stealth bomber with piercing red eyes. These guys are very efficient raptors mainly hunting small rodents and reptiles.
Location
Nairobi National Park, Kenya
Date taken
January 2020
Scientific name
Elanus caeruleus
Glad to see you still call it by it's old name (now Black-winged Kite) Mustafa; why they changed the name is completely unfathomable. Stunning bird, extraordinary eyes. Tfs

Such beautiful kites these Mustafa.... and you've taken a superb picture of this guy with even some great feather detail.

Excellent work my friend. Many thanks.

I hope you don't mind by I've changed the scientific name you used, which was for the Australian species.
