A fantastic picture and great to see him with his lunch too Johnny.

Many thanks for showing us this beautiful Kite.

BTW the naming is very confusing as the species was split. Black-shouldered is the name now used for the Australian species (Elanus axillaris), Black-winged is Elanus caeruleus and found in Africa, through to Asia etc.
