    Having a rest

    Some miles further on I stopped to check out two blobs in a tree - turned out to be yet another Red Kite pair!! Just a few years ago we wouldn't have seen any at all in the area and here we'd come across two pairs in a few miles. Just amazing how they're spreading, obviously due to the release...

    We have lift off

    The Kite after a while had a rest from flying and sat at the top of the slope for a bit, but then took off as I was taking pictures of him.

  3. Company

    Company

    The Kite we were watching had been suddenly joined by another. This second one disappeared somewhere, but was very quickly replaced by a Buzzard, would you believe They seemed pretty comfortable with each other. That was one of the 'good moments' of birding I think; always the way when you see...

  4. First of a few

    First of a few

    I had to go to Stracathro at the end of August, and on the way back we took the scenic route. After a stop to eat our lunch, we set off again and before too long I spotted a Red Kite hunting across a field beside the road. Stopped to take some pictures.

    Displaying

    I went for a little wander along the canal beside my brother's house. On the way back, I spotted a Red Kite putting on a good display over the village and got just about my best Kite picture so far!! Pleased with that!!!

  6. Red comes in

    Red comes in

    Red Kites are really spreading throughout this area now and, although not daily sightings, we do come across them pretty often, even had two on my patch the other day! They are still the highlight of the day when we do see any! This one gave me another chance to practise a flight shot.
