black kite
black kite n. a partly migratory kite, Milvus migrans, which has chiefly dark plumage and a slightly forked tail, and is found throughout much of temperate Eurasia (where it is a summer visitor) and the rest of the Old World.The black kite is the commonest of the larger birds of prey. It includes forms from Africa and the Middle East that were formerly regarded as separate species, and these may yet warrant that status.
