    It is rice field churning time where the farmer churned the fields to turn the soil, this cause all the rodents and other small animals to surface, this is when the raptors hover over the fields to catch their prey. Shot in Malaysia

    Just another Kite

    Yep another one but probably my best flight shot for sharpness for the trip as I now have sent my MK111 in for the mirror fix and hopefully it will fix the auto fix proplem that it seems to have in A1 servo mode and tracking.

    White Out

    This shot is what I have said to some of you on this site. The bird is a very dark bird so when you shoot you need to be one full stop (3/3rds) over to allow to bring the dark colours up on the bird.

    Black Kite (Yellow-billed?)

    This was taken at the same spot as the bird whose picture I posted in my Nile Valley Raptor thread in the bird ID forum, albeit a little while later in the day. I had assumed that it was the same bird but on closer examination I am not so sure. This appears to have a darker bill. Does it mean...
