I get to see variety of birds in the back yard of my parents house in Udupi. I have captured few of them in my camera and here they are. One such beautiful bird is male Brahminy Kite.
It is a medium sized bird that measures 45 to 50 cm in length and weighs 400 to 700 grams. The wingspan is 110 to 125 cm. The adult has chestnut back, wings and belly and a contrasting white head and breast.
It is mostly seen in coastal plains, rivers, lakes, swamps, marshes, reservoirs, rice fields and urban areas.
They feed mainly on dead fish, crabs and carrion. They also catch and feed on live preys such as small birds, reptiles and fish.
