White Red Kite
Had the opportunity of viewing this bird a few weeks ago at Gigrin. Shame about the tags, but I've looked everywhere for one without :wink:

Beautiful bird that really stands out from the rest of the Kites.

Comments appreciated

Absolute beauty Graeme :toast:

Pin sharp head/ great wing position, and the tree BG always adds much to flight shots IMO.

Nice one Graham, I like the way the light is catching the kites right eye, shows that concentrated stare off really well.

I hope this individual is still around the next time I visit Gigrin - great view point and eye contact!

Brilliantly captured. Just the right sense of movement in the wing tips.
