The Brahminy Kite was actually flying quite low near a lake in Bangalore when I clicked this picture. They would dip their claws in the water and then start flying upwards again. This one was coming down to make a swoop at the fish in the water. But I never saw them catching any fish.
Why Brahminy? Is it of Indian origin?
Agree with Sunita about the fishes being smart 🙂
And lemme guess, the lake was Ulsoor!
Looks like the fish in B’lore are really smart! I love these birds…. they look so striking, don’t they?
