The Black Kite is a medium-sized, rather nondescript raptor with overall dark plumage. It has a slightly forked tail with the fork disappearing when the tail is fully open. The head and neck are short.
The flight style is buoyant, gliding and changing direction with ease.
Commonly found in urban areas, rubbish dumps, aquatic habitats, grassland, but usually avoids heavily forested areas. May be found solitarily but also in large flocks on migration and at good feeding areas.
This Black Kite was dive bombing us trying to steal our lunch.
