🌍🌏 Black kite (Milvus migrans)

The Black kite is a medium-sized bird of prey with a distinctive forked tail and dark brown plumage. It is found across large parts of Eurasia, Africa and Australasia, inhabiting a variety of habitats including urban areas, forests, and grasslands. Black kites are skilled soarers and often seen gliding on thermals. They are opportunistic feeders, scavenging on carrion and preying on small animals. Five subspecies are recognised.

Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)
