Red Kite

Milvus milvus

Description:

Medium sized bird of prey, with some 170 cm of wingspan. Mainly rufous to brownish appearance, white a cream colored feathers under the wings. Head is light grey in color. Tail deeply forked, and moves all the time as the bird soars the skies.

Habitat:

Notes:

It was an impressive sight - two birds were flying around the beach all afternoon, and picking down to water from time to time, even in the midst of swimmers.
