    Great capture. The ISO noise is present when zooming in, but that's a given fact with small camera's even given low iso values. Thanks for showing us. A bird in flight is always tricky to capture, I find myself. Posted 11 years ago

      The brightness of this snap was enhanced a bit. Obviously I didn't have DSLR when I took this snap. Posted 11 years ago

The Brahminy kite

The brahminy kite , also known as the red-backed sea-eagle in Australia, is a medium-sized bird of prey in the family Accipitridae, which also includes many other diurnal raptors, such as eagles, buzzards, and harriers. They are found in the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, and Australia. They are found mainly on the coast and in inland wetlands, where they feed on dead fish and other prey.
