This was made a bit easier because it was flying at a lower level than my position

Long-tailed Widowbird

Even though I sat there waiting for take off, I still almost missed it.

Pin-tailed Whydah

Mlilwane, Eswatini

 

A real shame there is so much clutter in the background. So much that I didn't even consider trying to clean it away.

Sequence of a black-winged kite from last sunday, there´s lot´s of room for improvement and for me it´s impossible to get somewhere close to the quality of the pictures in this thread, but I´m still happy with the result:

Great shots @Peter Connan - particularly the Whiskered Tern.

This morning as I was driving to a family Memorial Day holiday lunch gathering, I happened upon a flock of 40+ Kites feeding over a grassy field complex, right beside the highway.  Fortunately I had my camera in the car.

 

There were about 15 Swallow-tailed Kites and 25+ Mississippi Kites.

Lovely shots @offshorebirder

[Dave Williams]

I like this one because it's a bit different from the rest of my Little Tern shots taken yesterday. Maybe the crop is a bit too tight though.

@Dave Williams - that Little Tern photo is "SICK" as American youngsters would say today.

 

Well done.
