Found it? 
When the strong wind* blew...

* Tropical Depression Nangka, strong wind signal No.1 was in force.
It was a foggy day. A Black Kite roosted on Bamboo, didn't it act like a Black Drongo?

Good balance!


The 43rd Hong Kong Brands & Products Expo was held in the Victoria Park, Causeway Bay, HK. Dec 17 afternoon, two to eleven Black Kites soared above.



It was a comfortable evening.

While Bell enjoyed photographing, Tommy had fun on filming the Black Kites...

A relaxable Kite-watching weekend with friends.

The severe tropical storm Fengshen was in force, Black Kites soared in the greyish sky.

A plastic bag flowed in the sky, Black Kites flew by observed it then left.

The "Black Kite album (老鷹畫冊)" telling the stories of Black Kite that's observed by Mr. Shen Chen-Chung (Black Kite researcher in Taiwan since 1991). The main content is in bilingual (Chinese & English), it's concise and beautiful like poem with fingerprint drawings by Mr. Shen ten years ago.
There was a touching story behind the print of this book. When birder Ms. Yeung saw the early version (carbon copies) of the "Black Kite album", she was very touched and then expressed her wish on a bird forum to print the book.
Through support and donation by passionated birders, 3,200 books were printed. Ms. Yeung's dream came true like a miracle!

Other than the "Black Kite album", Shen Chen-Chung had written four books in Chinese about the Taiwan Black Kites and his trips to eastern countries to observe Black Kite.
It seemed that within half an hour, two Black Kites (left and right) roosted on a pole individually.

17 Feb 2008 - Several hills were on fire and burnt overnight.

Early next morning, helicopters flew above the hills to put out the fire.

The helicopters.

At the same time, far away from the burnt areas, a Black Kite carried something, circling in the sky. Another Black Kite flew above, watching.
