Red Kite

[John Harper]

Hi There

Shot of a Red Kite taken again at Gigrin Farm where large numbers of wild Birds come in to grab some free food put out for them daily.

As in my previous post this bird has plastic wing tags, so although Wild it does show a Hand of Man Element.

I lke the head turn the bent wings, and luckily you can just see all of the tail feathers.

What I like about the images that you post are the interesting poses that you capture the birds in flight. This is another example......gives me a sense of the powerful flight. Even though the tags are present, I find them less evident with this one which really lets me concentrate on the bird. Well done.

Very strong image - like the pose you captured very much - captures the elegance and power quite well.

Very interesting pose of the bird. There is a lot of power in your picture!
Too bad for the images that the birds have those plastic tags;
