Kelp Gull taken at Cape Hangklip. He had been parked off beyond the breakers for quite a while and then decided to come into shore - took some shots on the off-chance there was something going on and here we are....

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.

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!

Red Kite taken at Bwich Nant yr Arian forest mid Wales, was lucky to have a lovely day with snow on the ground and a frozen lake.... A fantastic place for anyone in the UK to go to see these magnificent birds
