Tree, Mustang P51D and Red Kite by bulldog

Tree, Mustang P51D and Red Kite

During a walk across the Chilterns this afternoon I noticed this stunning tree basking in the late afternoon sun and while setting the camera up I heard a plane flying up. I took a couple of shots of the three before the plane flew into shot and I got this amazing capture.

It was not until I got home and zoomed in, that I saw that the plane was an American WWII Mustang P51D and that I was not the only one watching. If you look to the highest point of the tree, there is a Red Kite perched there...

I am so happy with this shot, please have a look in BIGNESS: http://static.365project.org/1/5622327_ehpqtuvw09_o.jpg

Thank you for looking.
I have searched and found some more details about the plane. http://www.hangar11.co.uk/mustang.html

what a fantastic capture! The tree alone would have been a nice shot, but the kite and the plane - how lucky!
