brahminy kite

Haliastur indus

Description:

the brahminy kite...spotted this one..perched on a mango tree.....and appearing to be drying off...:).....known to be attracted to fires...not because of its matching fiery plumage..but to feed on those escaping...!!!...after all..it is a bird of prey...
