Black shouldered kite

Sitting down to a lovely evening meal of Chinese dumplings and Newton’s Ridge Pinot Grigio, we soaked up the warm summer evening’s sights and sounds of the approaching dusk.

Casting an eye over at the fallen Cypress, we saw something, scattering bits of fluff on top of the old cracked stem. A juvenile black shouldered kite appeared to be enjoying his meal in the relative quiet atop. Bothered only by butterflys and taking time to spread its wing to let the day’s warmth dissipate.
