#BlackKite

#CrowUpdate (make sure to follow the thread, it's a big one) (no big thing happened, just a bunch of small ones, but all in the span of an hour or so)
It started with me returning from work and seeing this from my car!

First, I noticed a crow flying (it's one of the crows-by-the-sea) then a black kite on a pole. Then the crow landed right next to the kite, maybe 10-20 cm from it, both within reach of the other's beak.

#crows#birds#eagle
Ein Schwarzmilan im Flug – einer der häufigsten Greifvögel Europas.
Er ist leicht an seinem gegabelten Schwanz und den langen, schmalen Flügeln zu erkennen.
Oft sieht man ihn über Feldern und Gewässern kreisen, wo er nach Aas oder kleinen Beutetieren sucht.
Ein faszinierender Vogel mit großem ökologischem Wert.

Continued thread

The black kite was flying lower and lower which allowed me those cool shots (although I'm bummed the second one here is blurry, it was so unexpected that I forgot to change the settings of my camera).
I later noticed what it may have been interested in: some ducks hanging out in the estuary? Maybe? I'll never know because pretty much when I took the blurry pic, noises came from behind: angry crow noises...

Continued thread

They didn't move when they saw me. They stayed still and didn't come for more peanuts, which was odd.

I soon understood why.

A black kite was flying above the estuary at quite low altitude and coming closer to them.
