Blondie + 1
Not a pure white Kite but, (for me anyway) a quite interesting blonde variation. Taken at Gigrin just over a week ago.
1/3000 @ F5.6 iso 400
500mm
Dead space cropped from LHS as I didn't get it famed right in camera.

A classy red kite image. A bit more space at the bottom for me and it is a pitty the eye is half filmed over but it is still a beauty :wink:

Beautiful bird, caught very nicely indeed. Out of interest, were you shooting on rapid fire? If so, there's a good chance you might have one without the nictitating membrane showing - one of the first tips I picked up from this forum from one of the Avian moderators, Bob Steele.

Thanks for the comments.
Ian, this is the last one of a series of three. Both the preceding shots had clear eyes but also had wing tips out of frame :frown:
