But the chances of actually getting the things in frame would have been greatly reduced! Shame you had only 300mm, I mean you wouldn't have to crop if you had 500mm...

I like 5 best with the Out of focus kite in the background
Funnily enough, that's my favourite too. I was wondering if anyone was going to agree with me. I like 5 best with the Out of focus kite in the background

Thanks for resurrecting this one Howard!
I wish they were nearer to me over in Essex, we see them very occasionally, but nothing like the numbers west of London and through to Wales.

I find them amazing shots, quite, I am sure, beyond me so not only do I admire them I am a tad jealous as well, Difficult to choose my favourite but I think perhaps 2 although I also like those with the almost white background.

It has now become a very popular venue for photographers, there is also a feeding station, as they are commonly known, at Llangadog as well, below the Black Mountains.
