Kite in Aberdeen Typhoon Shelter

On Chinese New Year’s Day, I spotted this Black Eared Kite in the Aberdeen Typhoon Shelter. I wasn’t quick enough to catch it swooping down to the water for fish. But I did catch it and others circling above the water afterwards.

The shelter was filled with all kinds of boats because of the New Year’s Holidays. As a result there weren’t much open water there. The kites seem to have become very familiar with the environment and were able to fish in the narrow channels among the wall-to-wall boats.

Don't you wish you can fly like that? I do.
