Red Kite (Milvus milvus)

Very lucky this came out well as the stupid dial on the D80 mysteriously moved to "night landscape" setting when I took this, so there was no +ve exposure compensation. Managed to rescue the shot with Nikon Capture and Noiseninja.

Absolutely top shot of Red Kite. I have never seen this one and it is very rare here in Finland. Only 1 -3 individual in year. I hope I could some day to see and maybe to take some photos of it. I am so envious. This is going to my favorites.
