Hi There
Shot taken in the Woodland Owls display at the Hawk Conservancy Trust here in the UK of Brahminy Kite "Mindy" demonstrating the ability these birds have to pluck food or fish from the surface of lakes and ponds. they do not dive in, in the way an Osprey would, but instead grab their prey with razor sharp talons and fly off with it.
I liked the reflection in the pond on this one, unfortunately I just clipped the leading wing-tip, but heh ho there is always next week....it only took 2 years to get this one....so not long for another chance..
