Always wanted to see the "Black Kite" This was the first time seeing this species here in Abu. 
BUTLER recorded this species in 1875 as ABUNDANT. McCann (1942) found the species “common”. 
WHY THEY DISAPPEARED FROM HERE IS ANYONE'S GUESS. 
PROBABLY THE ABSENCE OF FOOD. The existing slaughterhouses probably closed. Abu is predominately vegetarian.
