Black kites are most often seen gliding and soaring on thermals as they
search for food. This bright birdie dropped by my work station during a talent
management review (non-taxable fringe benefits of working in a glass covered corporate
high rise).
The black kite (Milvus migrans) is a medium-sized bird of prey
in the family of other diurnal raptors. It is thought to be the world's most abundant
species. Black kites are opportunistic hunters and are more likely to scavenge.
Their angled wing and distinctive forked tail make them easy to identify. This kiteis widely distributed through the temperate and tropical parts of Eurasiaand parts of Australasia and Oceania, with the temperate region populations tending to be migratory.
The raptor does drop in from time to time but mostly we see him merrily riding the thermals while we slog at work. Just that moment its tempting to head off on my own flight of fantasy and day dream a bit. Truly the best things in life are free ;-)
