There are so many Red Kites in a village close to me. I just went to see how well I could capture them with my Panasonic G9 and 100-400 lens. I'm not very good at birds in fight but manages to get some good ones. Will post more of the best ones when I've scanned throgh them as i took hundreds.

They all just seem to play with eachother, throwing food around and is great to watch. I just need to go there at the right time of day to get good light! I've seen as many as 20 at times.

At least I got it to face me!
