Red Kite

[Dave Semmens]

Had planned on chasing a Barn Owl round a field for the morning but it was playing hard to get. Ran into Neil B from on here and he pointed me and my mate in the direction of some Red Kites - thanks Neil

Weather was dull and it was snowing so we did the best we could with the light.

Anyway - here are a couple of shots.

Good to meet you Dave and looks like you had a good time with some great results

Nice frame-filling shots Dave - shame the weather couldn't allow for more vibrant colour on those magnificent birds. Well caught.

The important thing is that you all thoroughly enjoyed yourselves, even tho the photos were not quite what you were anticipating

Another from the series of shots - really like the wing / head position and eye contact.

Good shots, Dave, hope they didn't get your Bacon & Sausage!

Good shots, Dave, hope they didn't get your Bacon & Sausage!

The bacon and sausage was long gone Bill - washed down with a nice cuppa I will be going back though - for another sandwich and another crack at the Kites when the light improves.
