What A Beauty
As I was waiting for another bird, this one suddenly appeared from nowhere and landed right in front of me. What a beauty! I love the yellow ring around the eyes. Unfortunately, I have no idea what bird it is as this is the first time I came across this specie.
Well, I saw a black kite flying around the area. This is not a black kite is it?? Can the resident experts here enlighten me please? Thanks.  |
