Comment | This is far from a superior capture of a Square-tailed Kite in flight. It is, however, an unusual and difficult one to get (for me) as this kite has a habit of coming in fast, low and silent, so by the time you spot it, it has already passed, and it’s too late to get a shot in other than one from behind. On this occasion I was lucky and managed a handful of captures as it flew by, only one of which caught focus at all. On the wing, alas! This is the result after post-processing to the best of my abilities. | ||||||||||||||||||
