Black-Shouldered Kite.

Was at the Sunshine Coast,took these pics of this lovely little kite,

It was rather windy!,and i didnt have a tripod,and i had just been swimming for half an hour.

I wasnt going to try,but i am glad i did,taken with the 400mm prime L

Not sure about these birds with pure white,too low speed makes it bright

too higher speed,tones it down,the darker feathers then seem too dark.

So any short falls in these pics,due to operator error,not the gear.

I was pleased to get good detail of beak,eye,talon.
