Raptors

Finally - a day off.

I went over to Gigrin Farm Kite Feeding Centre to see the Red Kites being fed.  An amazing experience - 70 or 80 birds stooping to pick up chunks of beef for their lunch!

I got a few shots which were in focus, not blurred and big enough to crop - but looking round at the other guys lenses I felt a bit under-endowed!


This one got his prize.  The birds mostly don't land, but grab the meat en passant and fly off with it, eating on the wing.

Truly beautiful birds!
