Hey everyone. I've never posted to this thread, I'm usually in the photography section. This thread is brilliant and I'll definitely be back!!
I'm in India at the moment and I'm surrounded by incredible birds. Some seem extremely tame. I have a lens with a max zoom of 55mm so I can only get a shot when they are REALLY close. The first bird I know is a black kite:

This bird could be a black kite (I can only ID them from flight) but I really have basic knowledge on birds. An ID/confirmation would be appreciated. This bird allowed me to get within half a meter of it (I inched to make sure it was completely comfortable with me being there, I didn't want to disturb it. It seemed more than happy and it didn't even flinch). I have a close up of the upper body and head. If anyone is interested, I can upload. Here's a full body pic:

A few photos from this morning in Lucan Demesne/St Catherine's Park, Lucan.
I generally would not post a shot of this poor quality – but spotting a kingfisher is rare for me –and this morning 2 together just flashed by before disappearing

I think the kingfishers on the Liffey at Lucan Demesne will see me to my grave!
There are 2 of them ( a happy couple?) and now and again you see them fly by together at breakneck speed- only then to disappear from sight!
If ever one of them stops it is ‘miles’ away!
See here ( 400mm lens)
Cropped in closer
Maybe someday I’ll get a Brendan quality photo!0 -

Remember they're breeding birds guys - keep a good distance from the nest and try to minimise disturbance - disturbance means lower chance of breeding success. Avoiding disturbance means higher chance they'll fledge chicks successfully - and more Kingfishers to admire and photograph later in the year!
(not an accusation by any means - just making sure everyones mindful of the fact
