Black Kite

黑鳶

Milvus migrans

Common resident bird which can be found soaring above hills and skyscrapers.

常見的留鳥,常在山坡及高樓大樓上空翱翔

Has a forked tail and six spread remiges (flight feathers on wings) which are easy to spot when it is in flight.

在空中滑翔的黑鳶展視分叉的尾巴和 6 條展開的飛羽(翅膀上的發翔羽),亦是辨別牠們的好特徵

Despite the name of the children’s tag game “Eagle (or Hawk) Catches the Chicks”, this species are actually scavengers and fish hunters.

兒時遊戲「麻鷹捉雞仔」實際上名不副實,因為黑鳶/麻鷹的主要食物來源為腐肉和魚
