RED KITE #2

GIGRIN FARM

Following on from yesterdays red kite shot, I am still working my way through the processing of the shots I took at Gigrin Farm feeding station. The gallery is now up and running and will be added to over the next day or two, as I get more shots processed.

Like yesterdays shot, this is another kite that has targeted its next snack. After doing the characteristic roll in the air, it is now plummeting almost straight down with eyes fixed on the prize. At the last moment it will level out, grab the meat as it skims the ground and take it up to clear air then eat on the wing.

To visit the gallery, just click on the thumbnail below and that will take you to the first image.

All comments are welcome, so please let me know your thoughts on this shot. Thanks.

UPDATE: I have now finished processing these shots. To see the rest of the Gigrin Farm gallery, just click on the thumbnail below - showing a red kite swallowing a large piece of chicken, while keeping a wary eye on the telephoto lens poking out from the hide. That will take you to the first image in the gallery.
