Some birds just look so regal and majestic, don't they?! Is this in any way related to a hawk? It looks very similar to these birds. Thanks for the great images.

Found a bit to help with answering your question @steveblucher

Differential Characteristics:
Eagles are majestic birds. Huge spread of wings, quite rare to spot. These are strong creatures, can lift heavy preys.
Kites are common raptors, now thriving in cities and towns on account of scavenging food habits. The raptors that you see circling on the high skies are Kites, mostly Black Kites.
Hawks belong to Genus 'Accipiter', i.e. those are exceptional hunters. Their eye-sight and hunting abilities are incomparable. These are used in Falconery and are called Shortwings in Falconery.
Falcons are of Genus 'Falco' - Called Long-wings in Falconery. The USP of these birdsa re their speed. Peregrine Falcon is the fastest flying birds, exceeding speeds of 300 Km./h. Indian Hobby, Kestrel, Merlin and Peregrine are Falcons found in India.

Ojala en el futuro lejano aun se puedan disfrutar, bonito lugar, id kryptonia @reyos69

Everyday is a good day in nature @reyos

漂亮的鳥.拍的不錯~~

Thanks @cloudblade we are lucky to have some larger birds of prey in our region.

Great to see these birds. Thought for the day is awesome.

@joanstewart Oy Vay, At first I thought that I know this bird Lady Joan, then I remembered that I regarded my pictures of him as a hawk. Now I know that it's a Yellow Billed Kite! Some great pictures here and please keep on smiling! Blessings!

Black-shouldered kite and Yellow-billed kite are very similar and seen quite often during summer season only. Interesting reading material if you have a minute...

@joanstewart Thank you for the link Lady Joan and I remember looking at this the first time that I started to get the Black Shouldered Kite on my camera. So great to be reminded that I now also have the Yellow-billed Kite. At least I think it is one? Blessings!

No fork tail being evident, I would think this may be a Shikra or little banded goshawk, kites have the V-shape tail making slightly easier for identification. Being a total amateur in birding I thoroughly enjoy researching, you most definitely had the Black-shouldered kite in one of your photo's you put up awhile back with the grey/black plumage in in Johannesburg.

You are so lucky having seen a yellow billed kite right in front of your eyes and in your garden!

Regular visitors down here, really hope all the development in our area does not affect their arrival in the future @lizelle
