Kite dispute

When you want to see black kites, a visit to Kathmandu will be rewarding. There are 100's flying around in the city, preferably close to the rivers that surround Kathmandu, here they fly above the confluence of the Bishnumati- and Bagmati rivers.

 

Why they are there I am not sure, but it might be that the incredible amount of garbage that is in the river attracts mice and rats, that make a good living for the birds.

 

It is spectacular to see them fly, and difficult to make a decent picture. I think this is one of them.
