One young participant, Fara Ling from the Creative Writing for Nature workshop recently organized by The RIMBA Project Brahminy Kite (Haliastur indus) is a bird of prey with contrasting reddish-chestnut plumage, black wing tips, white head and breast. They feed on mudflats and open ground, typically on carrion and prey, often found near the coast or the inland wetlands. Just like other raptors, they use thermal streams to soar high and conserve energy. In Langkawi's famous Eagle Square stands a prominent land mark, a majestic eagle poised to take flight. It is none other than a Brahminy Kite! Learn more about Brahminy Kite in our has made an interesting analogy between the kite and two other flying animals.

Then only can they soar.

Butterflies have to wait a long time in the pupa stage while waiting for their bodies to change from long and leggy to delicate and airborne.
Even after emerging, a chore in itself , they need to wait for their wings to harden before they can start flying.

Most bats do their flying only at night, and so they have to wait for the sun to go down and the air temperature to cool.
