More red kites

I enjoyed my trip to Gigrin Farm so much the other week that I decided to make the 240 mile trip to Bwlch Nant yr Arian to see the kite feeding there. It was worth the trip and an added bonus, the weather was good!

First one for me, lovely lighting and isolated background, well worth the effort if you ask me

No need to go to a feeding farm, just drive around Reading and Newbury.. hundreds of them!

great shot. I like eagles. The pictures are very clear, and good at focus and view finder.

Trouble is they've gone from being an endangered species to being like weeds ...

From here it looks like the highlights are blown in image 3.

And made good use of the gimbal!! I still did not get the shot I wanted which was a Kite taking food from the water. That didn't happen very often but when it did you really need a spotter or to have your eye away from the camera which means you miss other opportunities.
