Description
Taken today at the Hawk Conservancy Weyhill Andover managed to get this one in flight under some trees..
The Brahminy Kite (Haliastur Indus), also known as the Red-backed Sea-eagle, is a medium-sized bird of prey in the family Accipitridae which also includes many other diurnal raptors such as eagles, buzzards and harriers.
This kite is a familiar sight in the skies of India,Pakistan , Bangladesh, and south east Asia and as far south as New South Wales, Australia, through which region it is widespread and resident.
It has a typical kite flight, with wings angled, but its tail is rounded unlike the Milvus species, (Red Kite and Black Kite), which have forked tails. While in flight the rounded tail and plumage of adults are distinctive
The Brahminy Kite is an attractive bird, with chestnut plumage except for the white head and breast and black wing tips. The juveniles are browner.
Thanks for taking time to look and any comments
