Taiwan

adult, winter plummage
This is a comon and true aerobatic bird in Taiwan. It can fly at a great speed and dive down to get insects or harass large bird in the air. It is also a very difficult to photo because it is pure black, nothing else was shown in colour. I had many shoots of this birds but very few of them can be shown, despite of photographic enhancement package. This angle and certain lighting condition can produce a sharp image of this rather ugly but wonderful bird.
