@pcoulson they are one of my favourite birds. Have you been to Wales and the Red Kite Centre? It is a magical place and fantastic when the birds get fed...the numbers have increased and I LOVE going there when we are in the UK

@quietpurplehaze Thank you Hazel they were almost impossible to capture in a dive much to fast for me:)

Stunning image. Do go to Gigrin Farm (Wales) if you ever have the chance to see the Kites, Ravens and Buzzards. Nice walkies too and used to be a camp site too, might still be there
