They pause not to rest,
but to contemplate purpose,
those powerful wings!

What a majestic picture!
And the expression on the birds face is like as if it has spotted something that reminded it of some funny incident and it’s trying hard not to laugh 😛

अरे…what else…it’s chuckling to itself, “आ गया फिर से ये एक आँख वाला पागल, मुझे घूरने!” 😬😜
Seriously, they’re so abundant in Aarey that I’ve stopped clicking them now. I think I have all possible poses! 😄

What a fabulous bird. I’ve never seen one with such coloring. He may be called a “small” kite, but he looks large, and full of purpose!

Indeed, Ma’am! This kite is a subspecies of the Black Kite (Milvus migrans) and was earlier known as the Pariah Kite. It is one of the most common raptors in this part of our country. 🙂
