    A Red Kite in Dumfries and Galloway. We saw loads of these over the week but I didn't get one shot which I am really happy with. We could have gone to the Kite feeding station at Laurieston but I think it is much more exciting when you happen upon them when you are out and about. Ron

    We spotted this Red Kite as we were driving along and for once there was a convenient farm gate to pull into, allowing me to get a shot of if. It's not brilliant but it is a first for my gallery. Ron

    Ivan Ellison and I took a trip to Harewood House West yorkshire. It's a great place but take your own sandwiches. Getting the kites with some light underneath is a difficult proposition made more difficult using a 300 lens with no distance limiter switch and a 2X converter a combination which...

    Taken on a very rainy day and therefore getting good shots was difficult, this bird was close to the hide and angle itself perfectly to catch the light that was available. It made up for the dozens that I had to delete.

    This one adopted the lazy approach used by the buzzards for feeding, and landed, strolled over to some meat and ate whilst stood on the grass.

    I'd just put back on the 1.4TC to get some shots of the buzzards strolling around, when this caught my eye. Flying directly in my direction I chanced a shot, and very luckily it came out sharp and just in the frame. No crop here at all!
