Nice capture! Good and sharp and as Don says, good detail in the head. I was near Henley on the weekend and these guys were all over the shop, swooping around and generally making their presence known - it's great to see them thriving.

I'm not usually into bird shots, but this one is excellent! Fantastic focus too. Love the beady eye

Great shot and so sharp, I quite often pass seven different Kites as I drive home along the Derwent Valley, although I have never had one gliding low enough to get this close with my 300mm.
