I've read the Kite is a very lazy bird and has a love for easy prey along with collecting strange shiny objects and storing them in their nests.

Its true... even thought they are classed as a bird of prey they are primarily scavengers.

Edition_slim:
Couple more after a bit of cropping..

Seeing them isn't difficult but photographing one relaxed wow!

Pure luck, saw him or her sitting on the fence grabbed the camera and to my amazement it completely ignored me whilst I took the picture. Bit of a regular visitor to our garden there's often a pile of feathers on the lawn from its victims, seen it a few times in action grabbing its prey.

Top Cat:
Just got back from the Cayo Islands and the variety of birds wherever you looked was amazing. They never stayed still for long as they were always fighting and chasing each other. I wish i could have snatched a bit more time taking pics without my son grabbing my attention.

Beautiful texture and couloirs on this Heron when close up.

This fella used to arrive every afternoon and would take a crab out of your hand if you were brave enough. He would also get dive bombed by some sort of peregrine falcon regularly which was less than half its size.

This Humming bird was virtually impossible for me to photograph, they are no bigger than your thumb and have the dexterity of a blue bottle. It was almost dark and I took about 50 shots of it without hardly any catching it in focus.   :sad1:
