The Kites of Bagan Sungai Buloh, Selangor

We have just finished birding at Sekinchan and since the place happens to be along our way home so we decided to drop by to see what it has to offer at the worst time of the day. We reached the place at about 13.00hrs and as expected there were just a handful of birds around.

Little Terns and Whiskered Terns were the most birds seen - flying to and fro along the river.

As we were scanning the river banks, the Grey Herons started to make a lot of noise and that was when we realised that a raptor was flying nearby. Looking up i knew it was a black kite.

Black Kite

Not to be outshined, this juvenile Brahminy Kite join in the fun.

Being a visitor at this place the Black Kite (bottom right) got some close attention from a resident kite.

Both the kites were juvenile and it was fun to see them thermaling just above our heads. The kites left the scene at about 14.00hrs and so did we.
