Diving Red Kite
Evening everyone, many thanks for the feedback on my posts of late. I went to a Red Kite feeding station last Friday, near Llanddeusant in Camarthenshire. The weather was flat to say the least, but we had to give it a go. Here is one such bird about to start its descent. Its an unusual pose I thought, so decided to use it, and its one of the only dives I managed to capture, Lol. :biggrin:

Canon EOS 7D
Sigma 500mm f4.5 EX HSM

That is a cracking pose Paul. Never seen one like it. Well worth looking at the bigger image.

Thats a beauty Paul as it is a very unusual pose and one I have never seen before. If that's the only dive you managed to catch then this was the ONE to catch. :wink:
