Summary[edit]

Description

Spotted this kite on this bare tree on the top most branch. A typical perch for this kite from where it surveys the area around for prey like small reptiles, rodents on the ground.

On this day, it spotted one and instead of hovering above its prey, it dive bombed pretty quickly and flew back to a nearby perch immediately. There was no rodent in its claws and we realized it failed to catch one. I suppose that is common and I estimate that it fails 50% of the time.

Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
