Agree with Dennis, super shot, the light picks him out of the background really well but we also get to see the habitat. Love it!

Nice capture. Nicely anticipated and taken.

very nice Des, the inclusion of some habitat makes it more interesting than many Red Kite shots IMO.

Nice work Des, it really excites me to see the Kites in a different environment and you've captured this one very well.

Works well Des apart from the head turn looseing the head of the bird if you see what I mean.
