Title	Black-shouldered Kite {Elanus axillaris}
Description	I took this picture early one morning in the Combretum Private Nature Reserve, Limpopo Province in the RSA (Republic of South Africa). I took about 5 consecutive frames/pictures as the Black-shouldered Kite was trying to balance itself on a branch which was wobbling. This one came out amazingly and I was quite surprised with the clarity of the Sigma 170-500 at a full 500mm. The subject was quite some distance away and I had to crop it a bit for a closer view. Taking it all into consideration, not bad for a Sigma at full stretch https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif
