The shot was taken at Newcastle Waters and the BF was sitting on one of the wires, pulled up in the car, and yes, normally they fly off for me too, but this one didn't. There is so much food around here at the moment it may have had a full stomach. I've attached the full photo and a photo of the Black Kites sitting on the same wires with some flying around. And there were more Kites in the sky above and beyond these ones, an amazing sight. Thanks for your comments, cheers.

Wow! How did you get so close? I find BOP very observant and likely to fly away as soon as they see me

Great shot Richard, would love to have seen all those Kites.
