[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
After the Black Kite, the Brahminy is probably the second most common raptor in India. It is also widespread in the rest of SE Asia.
Their main diet consists of small rodents, reptiles and large insects and they are also scanvengers. This individual was digiscoped at a distance of about 50 meters white sitting on the top of a small tree. He turned round to see me and I managed to take this shot before he flew off.

Wow, Ivan. A beautiful bird of prey. Great POV and sharp details.
It looks like it was a dull day out, and the colors are a bit flat.
Maybe a tad more contrast would bring the colors out.

Hello Ivan
This is a great photo.
I will never try to be an expert on the sharpness or quality of a photo, I am not good enough with my own skills to do that.
This photo is very pleasing and I like how the Kite is caught in the sunlight.
Also, thanks for your comments on my photo of Ilu, the young tigress.
I have read your profile and I agree with everything you say there.
Thanks

Regards

Roy
