Now this Red Kite comes and sits in the fir tree near my house (two doors down) they are one of the most successful reintroductions of a bird the country has know and they were reintroduced not far from where I live. It has to be my favorite bird and I never cease to stop for a moment to watch them.

It taunts me by crying for its colleagues while sat there.
Thank you, means a lot after seeing your photo's
Hope yours is better than the one we had (rain)
Your right there, thank you for the comment
I was so pleased to read this post as my walk has taken me into red kite country (Marlow to Henley). I can't believe the number of kites i've seen. thanks for your photo. My camera just isn't up to close ups like that.
Yes Henley has it's fair share of them but Christmas Common in Watlington is the place though I know of a place they nest where I keep my caravan. I see your getting to near where I live now then.
Great serie of photos.
Perfect for the sky-theme!
Wow! Wonderful photos—especially the second one!
Terrific captures.
Thank you, thought it might work
Yes he does look great
Thanks Jim
