BLACK KITE milvus migrans

Whilst driving to St. Cath's with the visiting brother, after entering Niton we both spotted an 'interesting' looking raptor being mobbed in the distance and hastily pulled over; Graham got out of the car and got his bins on it: it was a Black Kite! Fortunately it kept moving in our direction and went right over us giving close views. No photographs; only these thorough descriptive notes courtesy of my brother Graham:
