Red Kite.

Lovely shot Iain. Reminds me that I need to visit the Bwlch Nant yr Arian feeding station again. We get kites over here now and again but you need a good helping of luck to be in a position to get a good shot.

I have access to a Bally where there was a release program so there is plenty of them about.
I never get tired of seeing them.

A rarity indeed. No, not the tree swallow, those are pretty common. The rarity is me posting a BIF!

Cheers Andrew. I found a sea bird haven last weekend about ten minutes from my place. Will be spending a bit of time there from now on.

Was able to take this sequence of this red tail hawk on my walk today. I will receive my new 200-600 sony lense this week and I will be interested to compare shots to the 100-400. Tim and Kien's photos with the 100-400 mm lense are very sharp. This bird was not happy with me!

This thread is dedicated to birds in flight images.

Here's one of a red kite at Bwlch Nant yr Arian (mid Wales) just to get the ball rolling.

Shot with the a7III + 200-600.
