How on earth did you manage!!! Getting one this sharp is hard enough. Two is stunning. Great work Constable.
 
Red Kites rather than Black Kites
Neil

Thanks for the feedback. Mea culpa

These were in a mixed group of about twenty red and black. I was reasonably certain that these two were black and did not really check! The next in the sequence are black!

However, you are correct. Now I need to figure out how to change the label on the gallery!

Thanks again

Ed
