Brahminy Kite in flight

[loose cannon]

Almost knocked my hat off. A very rare treat to have a raptor fly so close, pretty happy with the end result.

Exif: f/6.3 1/2000 i800 fl400mm

Excellent capture Mick. I can almost see your reflection in his eye

Great shot Mick,beautiful birds,there are a couple at my fave birding spot,unfortunately they have been way off in the "no go "zone,hoping they`ll take pity on me an come a bit closer one day,.

Great shot Mick and lucky you to have one come close. I've only seen them in soaring mode very high or almost equally high in a tree. They are a beautiful bird.

Very nice shot, he must have filled the viewfinder !

Thanks folks.

I see this bird quite regularly at my prime birding location and it was nice to finally have a chance to capture it.
