White-tailed Kites in a courtship exchange where the male holds the prey in his kiting position for her to grab with her talons. It's harder than it looks - she actually misses this try by a feather but he holds steady and she gets another chance. I just couldn't pass up on the light in their eyes on this one.

I spent a lot of mornings and evenings to get one of this images. Although not satisfied with the cropping I had to do, but at least the image came out fine. Yeah, I know I always complain, but man, so much time spent to get a green background. Fortunately they faced in the direction of the camera.

P.S. I always wanted to do a tribute to this anime and I just never had the drive until this Lion came along. :D So thanks to his attention to detail and inspiration, this photo came together so nicely! This anime series is really one of the best out there and if you haven't watched it, I highly recommend it!
Thanks to the best partner in crime:- Kai's Stream ❤
It was a rather brief meeting with some short and sharp exchanges of opinions.

Cleo and the owl are often having serious conversations. Sadly they don't allow me to participate. I'm probably not wise enough (yet).....
The Snail Kite has to exchange the snail from his talons to his beak so he can land and eat his prize.
Leeds Corn Exchange is a Victorian building which was completed in 1863. Designed by Cuthbert Brodrick, a Hull architect. It is a Grade 1 listed building. In the late 1980's it was converted into a retail facility. After further restoration the Corn Exchange contains a number of independent retailers and food outlets. It is described as one of only three remaining Corn Exchanges still functioning as a centre for trade in Britain although not as a Corn Exchange. (1563)

From my epic experience with the mated White-tailed Kites, here's another use of that hovering "kiting" skill. The male holds steady with his prey, a gift for his mate as she comes in from behind to take the offering with her talons. It's pretty cool to watch - they start calling at each other before you can even see him coming with the catch. They're very vocal, a real joy.
Another photo from inside the Exchange Bar in Leicester. I'm very much liking this lens/film combination.

The Leeds Corn Exchange is a Victorian building in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, which was designed by Cuthbert Brodrick and completed in 1864
The dome design was based on that of the Bourse de commerce of Paris by François-Joseph Bélanger and François Brunet
Leeds Corn Exchange is now just one of three corn exchanges in the country which operates in its traditional capacity as a centre for trade, albeit no longer for trading in corn.
After the restoration in 2007 the Corn Exchange re-opened in November 2008 as a boutique shopping centre for independent retailers. (wiki)

A Grade 1 listed building opened in 1863 that has housed corn traders, animal shows, night clubs and shops. The exchange doubled as a leather market from 1903 and also hosted animal shows, but its main purpose was as a corn market. Every Tuesday corn traders would gather to buy and sell their wares.
Due to the decline in agriculture the building was gradually converted into a shopping centre. An opening was cut into the trading floor and new stairs were installed to allow visitors easy access to the basement and the balcony. The corn traders continued to trade at the Corn Exchange until 1994.

Located in the heart of historic Leeds, alongside Kirkgate - the city’s oldest street - Leeds Corn Exchange has been a magnet for visitors for more than 150 years. Designed by world-renowned architect from Hull, Cuthbert Brodrick, Leeds Corn Exchange opened in 1863 and operated as a traditional Corn Exchange until the early 1990s. Throughout the late 19th century, the building was a bustling centre for the exchange and sale of corn, wheat, barley, hops, cake and flour and also was host to a farmers’ market and regular leather fair. Neighbouring Kirkgate Market, Leeds Corn Exchange played a pivotal role in the day to day life of Victorian Leeds. [VisitLeeds]
With retail and hospitality closed and many people still working from home, this usually busy road junction was much quieter and easier to photograph when I was there last Thursday.
Usually, the difficulty here is to get your image in the gap between an endless procession of busses and cars. Now the challenge is to get a clean shot without the abundance of newly installed street furniture, cones and other clutter installed by the City of London to make the streets "Covid secure".

The Lumber Exchange Building was the first skyscraper built in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States, dating to 1885. It was designed in the Richardsonian Romanesque style by Franklin B. Long and Frederick Kees and was billed as one of the first fireproof buildings in the country. It is the oldest high-rise building standing in Minneapolis, and is the oldest building outside of New York City with 12 or more floors.
