Fly High in the Urban Jungle - Black-eared Kite Soars Above Hong Kong's Skyscrapers!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo, a majestic Black-eared Kite takes flight against the backdrop of bustling residential buildings in Aberdeen, Hong Kong Island. This magnificent raptor showcases its impressive wingspan as it gracefully soars through the urban jungle. With its keen eyesight and sharp talons, this predator is perfectly adapted to thrive amidst both nature and cityscapes. The juxtaposition of this beautiful bird against the modern highrises highlights the harmonious coexistence between wildlife and human civilization. As it glides effortlessly above town, this European-Asian hybrid species reminds us that even in densely populated areas like Hong Kong, nature still finds a way to flourish. Its presence serves as a gentle reminder that we share our world with an incredible array of creatures who call these concrete jungles their home too. Captured by FLPA photographer John Holmes, this stunning image encapsulates not only the beauty of wildlife but also celebrates the unique blend of cultures found in East Asia. So next time you find yourself gazing up at towering skyscrapers, remember to look out for our feathered friends soaring high above – they might just inspire you to spread your wings and explore new heights!
