Red Kite ............
Not had much time nor luck with photography over the last few weeks, so an archived shot taken a few weeks ago at Gigrin. Unusual to get a shot above a Kite and that's credit to the high level hide. The ruffled feathers are pretty cool me thinks!

Comments appreciated

Great shot Graeme. :toast:

I spoke to Chris Powell the owner of Gigrin and he mentioned that he will be limiting the amount of photographers to four in the tower hide because it means more room for tripods and kit, I think if you turned up on spec during the week you could be ok but if planning a weekend visit then it is best to book in advance.
