The Black-shouldered Kite or else a short story about how the gallery was created based practically on one approach. Before leaving for Australia I read about the Black-shouldered Kite and found its distinctness about coloration so strange that it seemed very interesting to have such images in the gallery. For a bird with almost white plumage more natural habitat should be in winter climate, but here we have in hot Australia a raptor of such a plumage. Black-shouldered kites belong to the family of Accipitridae and are quite filigree because their weight does not exceed 350 grams . "My" Kite posed for a photo once just for a moment. And so quite specific gallery of " the Black-shouldered Kite anatomy " and its departure was created. Closely watching it I could capture its every move. The pictures did not need framing. The Black-shouldered Kite had its eye on me but apparently the distance of about a dozen meters between us was acceptable to it. What a great joy, almost snow-white raptor with  red eyes looks impressive, I wish I had more pictures and not with the sky in the background, as it often happened in Australia, but other ones diversifying the gallery. Luckily it was so close to me that I was able to take pictures showing anatomically its plumage and beauty, as well as its departure.
