Daily wildlife photography: the black kite, Milvus migrans. Black kites are some of the most common birds of prey in Portugal, although they spend the winter in Africa. Found this one perching near the Alqueva dam in Alentejo, and he allowed me to get pretty close before taking off. It's one of the rare raptor photos in flight that I was able to get without getting a blurred image!
