I wonder, can anyone let me know for certain tthat this is a Black Kite. Its a bird that I photographed in Menorca last year and it looks quite different to the other Black Kites that I have photographed before.  I would be really appreciative if you can comment with your opinions.

 I haven't had chance to go out with the camera this weekend, I have been doing what every family man has to do some time or other. However when I have been indoors I have been looking back at the blog over the last couple of years and a couple of pictures really caught my eye. I was really taken with this picture of a Stonechat that I took on Dartmoor last Autumn, it just so lovely and I can't wait to get back out to that spot again once the breeding season kicks off properly.
……..another one that really excited me was this shot of the pair of Kingfishers at the nest that I am licensed to photograph at. Like the Stonechat , it has really whetted my appetite for the Kingfisher breeding season which is close now.
