Black Kite (Milvus migrans)

I'm not sure why they call them a black kite, since they're brown, but oh well.

This is one of those photos, which really take your breath away! The quality is stunning, as I can see every single feather in the wings of majestic bird of prey. The composition is unusual and it makes me wonder, how did you take this!

I am not sure if you had the same idea when you posted the photo, but to me, it represents the connection between animal and human world - the one, which is natural and wild and the one, which is modern and technical. The city as a background for the animal is very unusual and interesting: both of them, city and a bird, play important role. Great photo!
