The reintroduction of Red Kites to the UK is one of the greater successes that have happened in our area. Many years ago you would never have seen these graceful birds flying around now they are commonplace and quite frequently (every day) stop off in a nearby tree where they can be hear calling to each other. I have often tried to get a good photo of one but am never happy with the result but I though I'd show my latest effort anyway. The first two are taken with a Canon powershot SX240 compact camera, the other three using a Canon 70D with a 70-200mm Sigma lens
So from this tree he sits and watches all around him
A most impressive bird
What I would normally see is the Kite sitting like this and hope to catch him taking off
and this time I caught it
I just need a longer zoom I cropped the last two a little
This is a new branch to sit in
And one I hope he uses a bit more as it is a little closer to get a view of him in.
