This is one taken recently at Argaty Red Kite feeding station.

Taken with 1Dmk3, 400mm f2.8, ISO 400, 1/800 (I think, memory has gone blank for the time being!!)

Thanks for looking,

Arron

Really nice kite shot Arron, super sky too. I can't quite make up my mind about the second bird though - a great result to get it fully in the frame :smile:

Yeah I know what you mean Magnus. It kinda works, kinda doesn't.

Thanks for your comment. :biggrin:

Lovely image! I think a little more room for the second bird would balance it a bit better. I know the pain you experienced chasing these, after my experience there yesterday - they aren't easy! I plan to go back after the clocks change when hopefully they'll be fooled into feeding when there's more light!
