The white-tailed kite is a striking, small-to-medium raptor, mostly white with grey wings, black shoulder patches and a distinctively long, white tail, easily recognized by its unique "kiting" behaviour—hovering in place facing the wind while hunting small mammals, insects, and reptiles in open fields and grasslands, featuring bright red eyes and a graceful, falcon-like flight. |
