Hello everyone. I was surprised to see what could probably be a hind leg of an animal (a chicken perhaps?) on this BK's talon when I made a BIF shot of this bird chasing the flock of black-headed gulls at the birding site. ( please see my previous photo post) This bird must have a voracious appetite. Thanks for viewing. Cheers!

It looks too small for a chicken leg. Probably the leg of a sea gull. I guess it is part all part of balancing nature. Nice shot Luisito.

@ Ely: I think you're right Sir Ely. The BK attacked the flock of black-headed gulls twice in the span of 2 hours. Thank you for the kind comment.
@ Neil: Thank you for appreciating my work Sir Neil.

Doc Lui, I think the leg is much smaller for a BHG. Anyway, good timing in capturing this action/BIF. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Sir Nilo. Other birds we saw at the area were Chestnut munia, Moorhen,Yellow Bittern, Phil ducks and egrets. Now this becomes a "mystery leg". |

Nicely done sir!
