    Ivan Ellison and I took a trip to Harewood House West yorkshire. It's a great place but take your own sandwiches.

    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!

    I can't really convey what it was like. For an hour or more there were always at least 60 Kites in flight. The farmer reckons that they work through the pecking order and we had about 250!

    I've been battling with Windows 7 for days. Now uploading a file on a new Windows 7 laptop, using a network from an older WIndows XP - Hope it works!

    As near as I managed to a Red Kite actually in contact with the ground. This leucistic one has been around for a long time.

    Gigrin is one of the places that feeds Red Kites every day. For an hour or more there were never less than 60 in view. The owners reckon there had been 250, taking their turns. The Kites do not land. They pick up the food and fly off.
