[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a Jouvenile Brahminy Kite. It looks as though it is calling its mom.It was just walking here and there till i shot few pictures. Later it flew off along with its parent.

The Brahminy Kite (Haliastur indus),is a medium-sized bird of prey in the family Accipitridae which also includes many other diurnal raptors such as eagles, buzzards and harriers.

This kite is a familiar sight in the skies of India,Pakistan , Bangladesh, and southeast Asia and as far south as New South Wales, Australia, through which region it is widespread and resident.

It has a typical kite flight, with wings angled, but its tail is rounded unlike the Milvus species, Red Kite and Black Kite, which have forked tails.
The Brahminy Kite is an attractive bird, with chestnut plumage except for the white head and breast and black wing tips. The juveniles are browner, but can be distinguished from both the resident and migratory races of Black Kite in Asia by the paler appearance, shorter wings and rounded tail.

This species nests in trees, often close to water. It feeds as a scavenger particularly on dead fish, crabs particularly in wetlands and marshland.

Satish,
This a very nice shot of the brahminy kite. It's pretty sharp with good clarity. The water background complement the composition and bring out the color of the bird.

Satish Just superb and what a stunning composition. Lovely image and great clarity. Ganesh

Satish, Juvenile or otherwise, Brahminy kites command respect. By shooting it against water in the background and grass and growth in the front, you have made this picture look very natural.
