Two black kites, seconds after fighting in the air. I wish I could have captured the second before when they were holding each other by their talons, while spinning downwards.

Black Kite (Lake Bunyuni #Uganda) bird of prey known for forked tail and scavenging on small animals and fish. Common raptor seen soaring in flocks migrating vast distances. #birdsofprey markscheflen.com #blackkites #birds #bird #biodiversity #conservationphotography #birdsofafrcia #birdsseenin2025

Can’t wait for spring, when these wonderful birds return to my local patch. #birdoftheday theme is #raptors

every few days I look in on Nextdoor, which is almost entirely ‘do you know why there’s police tape outside the co-op’ but there’s always something to boggle at, like this man who really dislikes having beautiful birds in his garden

Black Kites are by far the most common birds of prey in Hong Kong and among the territory’s most familiar birds. #blackkites #birding #skiesofhongkong

The crows-by-the-sea definitely spy on me. Every time I go for a walk in their territory they will eventually show up, usually at the same spot by the estuary (should I rename them the crows-by-the-estuary?)

The eagles, the eagles are coming!!!!

(black kites, really)
They were heading to the estuary, it probably was low tide and some fish got stranded again.
The neighborhood's crows don't approve of such gatherings.
