19th July 2013 The other side of the tracks

Topic of the Day - Hot/Humid

Pushing it a bit but it is very hot and humid and this red kite is floating around on the thermals. I was ironing things for my hols and I could hear the kites calling each other. Grabbed my camera and luckily had my 100-400mm lens on. Still very high but I was so pleased to get this shot as he was just about to cross the contrails. Oh could that be an air-bridge? Two topics in one!! LOL!!

Many thanks to everyone for their lovely comments and best wishes. Throat still sore but ignoring it - well I am on holiday tomorow and I refuse to be ill on my holiday!! Not sure if there is WiFi but will try to keep in touch if I can. Take care all and i will catch up with your shots as soon as I can.
Great shot Pam!
