Brahminy Kites

Brahminy Kites as in red kites are often seen in flight together with the other species of black Kites known as Pariah Kites can be seen nesting at the pamban beach.While walking on the motor bridge in parallel to pamban bridge i got lucky to see these birds which were then moving with great pace. Well then not good at capturing it i did somehow manage to get something fit in my camera frame.

I did manage taking these shots from pamban beach on my trip to Rameshwaram and thanks to these beautiful for posing it all to me specially do notice the pariah posing, i loved it.
