Hope you haven't run out of tea.

Silver streakers :~) We have masses of tea bags left, white wine in the fridge and plenty of goodies for later. Isobel cooking an evening meal now too :~) xxx

Super shot!
Was this hovering over the M25 or the M40?

Hi Andy ~ I'm not entirely sure ~ I've taken most of my decent Red Kite pictures at Stokenchurch which is off the M40. We have Red Kites flying over our house most days, but usually too high to be of much use. Occasionally they'll dive into the garden pick up a tasty morsel and straight up again, not pausing at all on the ground ~ down & up that is it.

I've seen pictures of Red Kites following the plough and I've been riding in a Combine Harvester with Red Kites following waiting for mice

splendid shot → beautiful portrait

Thank you dear Füsun ~~~Warm wishes ~ Nick

Fantastic moment...

Thank you :~)

Hi Nick,

Another massive big star for a cracking bird shot. You could probably sell some of these to a bird book author, they are that good.

Best wishes
