Target in sight! Pariah Kite taking off - On a sunny afternoon, I located this bird sitting on the top of a building. I had my camera locked on to the bird, but I turned away from the viewfinder for a split second. That is the precise moment when the Kite took off. I'm lucky I even managed to get the bird back in the frame! Bird of prey,Black kite,Geotagged,India,Milvus migrans,bird,feathers,india,kite,pariah kite,wings Click/tap to enlarge
