What a great set of pictures you've uploaded to day for us to drool over Dave!!!

A lovely kite this one too - can you tell me where you saw him .... was it in Florida??

It's great to see some more of your pictures laddie.
 
Thanks for the comments Delia,
While we do have Snail kites here in Florida, I snuck off to Brazil for a little trip and saw these in the Pantanal.

Thanks Dave.... trying to sort out which subspecies it was.

I might add your picture to The Opus article. Cheers laddie.
 
Very nice lighting and detail in this flight shot, Dave.
 
This is a very nice species I saw twice here in SE Brazil, at the National Forest of Ipanema, I wasn't so lucky with my pictures though :) , well done.
