Black Eared Kite
There were lots of large predators flying around the shores in Sai Kung. I believe I saw an Osprey at a long distance. The Black-eared Kites were by far the most common - later in the day I saw at least 10 from our position on the boat. Species: Milvus migrans lineatus (black-eared kite)

Black Eared Kite Turning
I really wasn't expecting to take photos of this bird - that is why the exposure is so off. I was walking in the area (actually taking photos of butterflies) and the bird flew - much further away than a bird in Vancouver does. I shot with what was set. Shooting a dark bird against an overcast sky is always a poor idea. Species: Milvus migrans lineatus (black-eared kite)

Grey-Faced Buzzard Bird In Flight
The bird flew after the kids got out of the car. The crop is strange because I just caught the bird in the frame. Species: Butastur indicus (Grey-faced Buzzard)

Two Vultures Circling
Two Vultures Circling. The internet has changed things. Back in the day, after a day of taking photos, I would hit the books and look up each bird I saw using the local guide books. Now I can use google images to find unique features and then work backwards to be sure I have the correct species. Species: Sarcogyps calvus (Red-headed Vulture, Asian King Vulture)

Red-Wattled Lapwing Flying By

Sun Through Feet
I like the sun lighting through the skin on the feet and the tail feathers. The bands on the leg are quite clearly visible. Species: Diomedea sanfordi (Northern Royal Albatross)

Soaring
Yes, the wings are in focus, not the eyes. My bad. Species: Diomedea sanfordi (Northern Royal Albatross)

Albatross Descending
I like the big bands on it's foot - those are there to recognize an individual without having to capture him/her. Species: Diomedea sanfordi (Northern Royal Albatross)

King Fisher Fishing
This is 5 photos composited in photoshop. This tiny bird was repeatedly fishing (dumb fish) so I shot on each flight. Too bad I don't own a 1500mm lens. Species: Alcedo atthis (European Kingfisher, Common Kingfisher)
