Red Kite

I have just got back from a week in Dumfries, South west Scotland.

I went there last year around this time and the birding was pretty good, whilst there we went back to the Red Kite feeding station.

Here are some of the shots I got, hope you like them.

This last shot is definitely my favourite, it was just a great angle the bird came in at.

Photos taken with Nikon D70 + Sigma 170-500mm

Thanks everyone who keep dropping by, I know i'm not posting as much as I would like, but working on it, Mike.

Scotland (6) - Red Kite

I am hoping that I have saved the best until last, it certainly is for me as I am a big fan of birds of prey.

After following the Galloway Red Kite trail you come to a farm which says Red Kite feeding area and instantly you see 10+ Kites circling around.

I have never seen a Red Kite before and by the end of the feeding I had seen something in the region of 30, all completely wild, but hang around for the free meat.

I hope you liked the Red Kite photos and thanks for viewing my trip to Dumfries and Galloways, Scotland.
