Kite flying




These 2 pictures were taken a home today. They were very much 2nd best. Earlier in the day my wife and I were in the lower part of the road when I saw a Crested goshawk right above our house. I was stranded with no camera and missed the closest flyover by a CG that I have seen in 2+ years. During the afternoon I took these as the Black-eared kites swooped past but the light was harsh and the heat oppressive. This is the same bird - note the 2 damaged inner primary feathers.

Below is a damselfly, Neurobasis chinensis chinensis. This gorgeous green-winged gem flies along the stream at Ho Chung and I took this when my wife and I took the dog for a walk last Sunday.
