Eye to eye with a black kite on my terrace in Bandra east.
Medium-sized, rather nondescript raptor with overall dark plumage. Slightly forked tail, the fork disappearing when the tail is fully open. Head and neck are short. Commonly found in urban areas, rubbish dumps, aquatic habitats, grassland, but usually avoids heavily forested areas. For more details click here.
...we had a hawk in a tree outside our window, by the time I got my camera it had flown away!
