Black Kite

 Sg Balang Jan 2010.


i am still 'grounded' by the recent wet weather, So recently i ran thru my raw files taken in Sg Balang and was surprised that many imgs were not processed yet, so i guess must well spend the time to practice them on photoshop and Capture NX rather than shooting birds in the rain!

These were taken with D300s and the Black Kites were on the ground because of  the menacing White-bellied Sea-eagles hovering in the air, taking control of the airspace's rights from them. 


As i have mentioned in my previous posts, the Black Kites rule the sky in Sg Balang, only in the absence of White-bellied Sea-eagles. 

So thanks to the WBSEs, i was given the opportunity to shoot the BKs in close range.

   "Better be safe on the ground than being pecked in the air!"

   "Oops! Another WBSE is still up there.."

   "Hey you! Stop taking my pic! Can't u see i am stuck here whole morning! GGrrrr....."

   "Ya.....hoo......., the WBSEs are gone! "

   "Here i come!"


   "Get out of my way you little butt..butterfly! 




   "hmmmm, now lets see what is for lunch..."


   "Hey, that fat toad is mine!"


   "Haha! Got you!"


   The toad,"Hey, stop tickling me, stop that!"


   
So, another toad gone missing in Sg Balang! Never heard from it since..........
