Red Kite (Milvus milvus)

I had a day off work and took to the hills yesterday. It was a cool day with some watery sunshine around midday. The shot was taken when the sun had its best moment. I had forgotten the map, so I wandered about following bird calls and animal tracks. I spotted a black woodpecker, a few hares, some deer and two red kites. Here's the kite, then. Hope you like it. Cheers.
