A while back I spent ages trying to get a decent photo of the Red Kites that have infested our area. Failed dismally. Sitting in the garden the other day one swooped over the house and I managed to fire off a single shot as it went over. Better than any previous efforts. The time of day and direction of light was pretty much spot on. It’s a bit blurry but given it was a reflex shot it’s not too bad.

Jen took some much better shots of them recently.
