Went out this morning to shoot a few birds and there were not a lot about after the week of storms that we had, anyway......

Black Shouldered Kite
This was the only other bird out and about worth shooting. I have photographed this one before, and you can walk right up under his tree, and he just looks, does not even look like he will fly away..... not the best pix I have done of this bird

Just no time big pix!
Love the color of the kite's eye, fantastic and sharp, pity about the branches though.
Can't put my finger on what stops me from liking the first....
Cheers,
Doug

I prefer the first one. Love the details in the feathers and the different shades of color.

Bernie,
on the first one, the whites are blown and I don't really like the perch. Good detail in the feathers.
Second one is much better, very nice capture. I probably would have like a "cleaner" perch but you take what you get and a bit more space where it is looking. Nice catch light in the eye and good detail in the feathers. Losing just a bit of details on its right side but that could be the web resizing.
Cheers,
André
