Hi John, Been waiting for your Kite shots to appear I know you have some fantastic images of these birds, in fact some of the best I've seen, and hopefully you'll share a few of these the coming months ..... This is awesome

Absolutely amazing shot - it has a kind of cinematic quality to it - if someone had to visualise a raptor struggling through the snow for a film it would look like this!
I'm not easily impressed with bird images but this is just superb - great pose but the snow is what really makes it for me. Tristan

Snow and flying bird is a great combination.

Was working just down the road that day in early Feb this year - simply awesome conditions, and would have enjoyed Gigrin. I too got stuck by the way - and took 4 1/2 hours to do 45 miles come the evening.
Cracking shot this - bet you had fun getting the white balance right though
Stunningly different - first I have seen of Gigrin in snow.

Stunning - best Kite shot I've seen come out of Gigrin so far...

Definitely worth the effort. Its beautiful. The snow really makes the shot. Its so good, I am certainly going to watch the forecasts and head for Wales the moment there is a good dump. Excellent stuff.
