Red Kite in High Wind

Red Kite in High Wind

The fhn was blowing strongly in the alpine foothills yesterday - ideal conditions for the buzzards & red kites. This one was hunting the gently sloping valley, and by balancing on the wind he was able to maintain his vantage point without any effort. A real joy to observe!
