    I was on Walbury hill checking out a route for a group of runners when I came across a mixed flock of 40 - 50 red kites and ravens enjoying the thermals.

    We returned to Australia from Texas via England, and managed to visit Gigrin Farm again for the Kites. I was quite chuffed to get this one eating on the wing.

    The look on the Buzzards face says it all, and to be fair to the Buzzard it didn't flinch as the Kite had a good go at moving it from its meal, next frame the Buzzard is still there and the kite had moved on

  17. Leucistic Red Kite

    Leucistic Red Kite

    My 1st ever sighting of this variation or Red Kite, felt a tad sorry for it as the other kites harassed and hounded it, which they didn't appear to do to any other species

    The hungry hordes

    When I arrived at Llanidloes, I asked the guys what chance there would be for me to see a Red Kite that day. "Hundred per cent", I was assured. They didn't lie , did they:-O
