Kite with carrion

Don't often see a shot with one actually feeding in flight.

Interestingly Kites feed youngsters up to the mature juvenile stage, quite a lot whilst on the wing, encouraging ( almost) some pretty fancy "aerobatics" from the youngster who will generally take the titbit from the adult from below with its underside up.
Youngsters also try to rob each other which seems to be a form of play but develops their flying skills
It is a good time of the year to see this and it makes for some great flying displays
Several other raptors will also do this too
Anyway your comments are much appreciated, many thanks
Best regards

We have Kites by the dozen circling over Berkshire but they are usually so high that getting a good shot is almost impossible or whenever one does fly low I don't have a camera handy ! One day I'll go out to a local park with a long lens and just sit for an hour (or so !)
Meanwhile, thanks again
