Venkatesh Kittur, Black shouldered kite in flight (SINGLE SHOT 2022)

I love this picture as it took place in such a serendipitous manner that I cannot imagine recreating this. It was perhaps my luckiest day that the kite decided to fly in my direction as I was seated in the car roadside, next to open fields. It flew right past me as it scooped down and picked up its prey. I was delighted to capture this shot.
