Challenge of Kites

Being away for more than a week, I walked into a relatively quiet taman, except for a few distant familiar bird calls.  Then I turned up to see a couple of raptors circling above, to be precise, encircling each other, which looked suspiciously like a juvenile and adult Brahminy Kite, and was spot on.  Unfortunately by the time I zoomed in, the birds had flown even higher up. 

Watching awhile then only did I realise that the adult was trying to chase off the younger one, which it eventually did, after a couple of close challenges or encounters.

Minutes later, the adult flew down to preen, mission accomplished, territorial rights remained!
