Do you remember the game of counting red kite and black kite? Well, today I’m going to give you another opportunity to successfully overcome it in this new edition of The La Vanguardia Readers’ Challenge.
Can you help me count the black and red kites that appear in these three photographs that I have captured around Altet? This, then, is the challenge that I propose to you.
These birds of prey from the eagle family are easily differentiated from one another by the V-shaped forked tail and the wide white spots under the wings of the red kite.
But, in today’s visual challenge I am not going to ask you to distinguish one kite from the other, but rather to look carefully at the images that I have shown you and guess the total number of specimens that appear in each of them. And so that you can see that I want to help you successfully overcome this Visual Challenge, I am going to show you in detail what the birds we are looking for look like.
Have you managed to see many kites in the three photographs? The same number of birds do not appear in one photo as in another, it is clear. In any case, the moment of truth has arrived. I am going to show you the three images again, but this time I have marked the position of each kite, so you can now know if you have seen them all or not.
