More flaming Kites on a spring day !!!

[Briony]

Just decided to chuck out a few chicken wings as it was sunny and the sky was blue and low and behold after about 5 mins 30+ Kites appeared, so decided to dust of the camera after winter and took this one.

Not my best by far but here we go again

One for Hashcake here's hoping it is nice Tuesday afternoon for you.

Just been out to visit my other half who is ploughing and there has got to be at least 75+ down there.
The place is alive with them today, amazing what a bit of sunshine does.

Nice to see you posting the reds again Niki. Good luck to Hashcake on Tuesday, we had a great time photographing these last year, good birds and a good host

Do you feed them on a regular basis, or are they just good at homing in on a random free lunch.

Both really,I have them nesting in the fields above me so when I go across the yard they tend to just come and have a look, also I can just go out there an whistle if I have any scraps for them and they come.
