The Brahminy Kite or Haliastur indus is also called the Red-backed Sea-eagle in Australia and it’s easily found near coastal areas and big bodies of water inland like lakes and swamps. As this bird of a raptor is obviously a hunter, it waits on a perch and selects its prey and then launches to the target; but the beauty is not just about that, it is when it glides like a kite on air, smoothly sailing the wind, using its tail to steer here and there, and then the dive to where the prey is.
One of the most common Kites in Thailand and yet when we find it we just take some shots, something new is always to be found in a composition. The sky was cerulean blue yesterday and and it was fantastic for such a fly by to happen and later dogfights with another Brahminy Kite.
