(World species # 1067a) Black Kite - [ Hokkaido, Japan ]
Current global population (of this BLACK KITE) estimates run up to 6 million individuals. Unlike others of the group, black kites are opportunistic hunters and are more likely to scavenge...Wikipedia.
Personal note: The Canon 5dSR/100-400mmII makes a difference, now I am happy with this shot of this very common raptor captured in Japan; and if you hadn't noticed, this camera and lens is now my everyday walk around combo.
