  1. The fish is a trout, the rounded caudal, and you can just see the adipose fin. Possibly a rainbow.

    Very nice shot.

The black kite is a medium-sized bird of prey in the family Accipitridae, which also includes many other diurnal raptors. It is thought to be the world's most abundant species of Accipitridae, although some populations have experienced dramatic declines or fluctuations.
