Sonya Voggenreiter, Black Shouldered Kite (SINGLE SHOT 2025)

I was travelling in a Easterly direction when in the distance l spotted bird of prey in flight which had taken another direction, l managed to pull over to a clear space and located in a dead tree was this Black Shouldered Kite, with piercing eyes looking down at me, the talons on the other hand tell another story.
