    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.

    Playing Chicken

    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
  10. Red Kite

  12. Leucistic Red Kite
