Exquisite detail on the head and wonderful pose. Great look at that eye before it turns adult-red. I believe these are now called white-tailed kites or - in Africa - black-winged kites.

Thanks everbody for your kind comments they are much appreciated.

Sandy,

I am sure they change the names just so that you buy a new book, I see they still call it Black Shouldered in Australia

Exceptionally nice, Ken. Simple and wonderful.

I hate it when they change the species names.
