Feather detail of an immature Brahminy Kite

[Romy Ocon]

I got lucky this afternoon when an immature raptor got within range of my hand held combo at the fishponds of Sto. Tomas, La Union, allowing me a good view of feather details at both its back and underparts . Light at around 4 pm had started to turn golden.
