So this is what a red kite looks like?! I've been trying to snap one for ages but it flies too high and fast.... now I know!

They are beautiful birds and they have lots of them here are the quite often get hit by cars. There were loads of them flying overhead but I didn't manage to capture any on this day.
Here is one I made earlier, in my back garden: http://365project.org/gphelps5/365-additions/2012-06-20

Love those birds of prey. That is great to get so close for a photo! Hope it will be released when it is better.

This might be the only way to get a good shot of these birds, and a great shot it is! (Useless fact - we once went on a trip to Tiggywinkles, got all the way there and found it was closed because of foot and mouth! Must make the effort to go back!)
