Red Kite (Milvus milvus)

by Zed

Red Kite
SW Scotland. Bellymack farm.
This is one of many wild Kites which congregate around a feeding station. The hard part was tracking an individual as they were so fast and so numerous.

Difficult technique really well executed.

Cheers Tom, and thanks for the heads up.
