£10 a head for Emmerdale with the possibility of no Kites! Wow.
Have to have a dig around on the net to find that layby. Birdforum?

I cant recal any of the Kites we shot at the Harewood House meet last year having tags, maybe you should try there Tom (let us all know when your going)
PS isn't number 5 a Buzzard or have you got its tail from a funny angle?
Some of the Kites at Bellymack Hill Farm were not tagged but needless to say I missed them!
Harewood House good idea Alan, fancy organising a meet.
Number 5 just the angle Alan "tagged!!".

One thing I've found with kites is that they are awkward to post process and was wondering if you had any thoughts on that!?
We quite a few good overall sharp shots with 600mm and 300mm but no matter what I did in LR body and wing detail was missing, came to the conclusion it was down to the light and back ground and catching the Kite just right.

Thank you for your nice comments.
Agree about the tagging comments, such a shame to see beautiful birds tagged this way.
We had one shot were the transmitter antenna protruded from the Kite’s back feathers “Radio Controlled”!! link

Just spent a very enjoyable week in Dumfries and Galloway and visited the Bellymack Hill Farm Kite Feeding Station, well worth the visit.
Here are a few shots by my good lady and myself.
Hope you enjoy.
