Description
Taken a couple of hours ago at HCT Andover.. They are like all kites remarkable in agility in flight able to take tid bits shot up from a catapult and then eat them on the wing.. Got this quite close with the 500mm f4 lens
The Black Kite is more compact in shape than a Red Kite and is a duller, darker brown, lacking the red colours and the obvious white wing panels. Indeed, it is more likely to be mistaken for a female Marsh Harrier or a dark morph Booted Eagle but has more angular wings which it holds level or slightly drooping. Also, the tail of a kite always looks obviously pointed at its corners and the upperwing has distinctive pale panels across the coverts.
