Kite mark 3

What a change in the weather today! It's been a typical, blustery March day with rain as a bonus. Not a good day for excursions, i.e. photo opportunities, and Henella is currently too exhausted from her artisitc labours to be co-operative.

I spent a while this morning trying to get a closer shot of the local kite than in Kite mark 2 : http://365project.org/dulciknit/365/2012-02-04

I didn't succeed but it was wonderful to watch him and his mate wheeling round the chimney pots and the way they coped with the wind. I settled for this shot for the album today.
Works better on large view.

Nice capture, like the composition. Havnt managed to actually see these birds round here.

[SIMMY]

Oh wow great capture.

[Milanie]

Don't think I've seen these before - what an interesting shape he has. This is a super detailed shot, especially enlarged. Thanks for broadening my world.

[Nat]

Nice capture. You caught him/her coming into the shot. If you had not said it was a chimney then I would have thought it was taken along a quayside with some boat masts.

[Hamble]

Great capture. Its marvelous the way you have the bird in focus but nothing else!

[Jean Tookey]

A brilliant shot. It is great to see details of the bird in flight. Another bird to look out for.

[Jennifer C]

[CHARLES MALLIA]

[Terry Beigie]

You can tell it 's a beautiful bird!!

[Susan Bell]

Really clear - it is so difficult to get action shots like this.

[Cindy Muir]

Nice one, Alison!
