🦉 The black kite (Milvus migrans)

• Milvus (lat) - kite
• migrans (lat.) - migrating

These scavengers are found everywhere in my city. At first they fly to the nearest forests, this happens in the first days of April, regardless of the weather. And then they can be seen circling over city courtyards.

In the forests they hunt small rodents and lizards, fledglings or eggs. In the rivers they look out for fish. And in the city they look through garbage cans in the hope of getting something to eat.
