This Whistling Kite was sitting high in a tree close to where I put my kayak into the water at Crab Creek. It looked very beautiful against the blue sky but when I zoomed in it looked very rumpled! It was doing a very thorough preen of all its feathers and looked like a very fluffy feather duster! Or maybe it was just having a "bad hair day"!

Beautiful images of your lovely Kite Mick.... thanks for sharing.
Cool sighting of the Kite. I would love to see any kite, even one with rumpled feathers. Great photos.
it really looks fluffy. :) I hope it was OK though.
Love the eyes...looks like he or she was enjoying a beautiful day..as were you..
What a beauty.
I love birds of prey; such magnificent creatures.
Great shots Mick!
Oh gosh, first shot is tremendous!
Grear shots!!!
Regards,
Fantastic photos.
Fabulous shots, Mick! What a great looking kite!
Love that first image with that alert eye and you can see the claw gripping the wood. Well done, Mick.
Wonderful captures! What a beauty!
Still looks great, even with the ruffled feathers! Maybe even especially with ruffled feathers! Kites we see have very long tail feathers -- I couldn't tell if this one did. I'd like to see it flying.
He certainly is making a great job of it!
Nice image, Mick!
