Anger Management

Brahminy Kite (Juvenile) :

This guy seems to be practicing as how to kill or just venting out his anger :)

Have many of these around my Area in Bangalore, India.. This one mostly preys on small rodents and snakes .. and sometimes fish as well. Hard to find one of them perched at some photogenic location except for the one below :)

I took this photo near a lake where one of the dead tree whose branches hangs over the lake bed. This is a very sorted out location where you can survey whole lake for prey and mates... all i had to do was to setup my Canon 400 5.6L lens on my 7D on a tripod and wait for some of them of land, lighting was no good as it was all cloudy and drizzling. To my luck that day i captured about 5 species of birds on same location.

I have seen birds fight to find a vantage point of this tree which was really cool to shoot an action sequence.
