    Red Kites

    These were taken some time ago but as Red Kites are in vogue just now, I thought I'd post these. I am going away tomorrow on hols to the Red Kite territory and trust I will have more pictures to post.

              Thank you all for your comments. As for Jeff's baby I know that I will not be able to "control" it let alone carry it without damaging my back. I think I know the place near Aber' wyth where they feed the birds by the river/water. I am actually in Builth Wells in my own timeshare apartment from where I will venture out- Brecon,Aber' wyth,Gigrin, and so on.

              I thought Stephen I suggested changing your dates ,if possible,and you were getting back to me.

              P.S I thought I might mention that my third image has been commented upon favourably by BBC Summer watch. This is the first time I have put my pictures in the "group" category as well.

                Good set Nat, the 3rd presses all the right buttons for me.

                          Thanks Les, Jeff and Gordon for your comments. I said I would "try" Les! . Yes, Jeff, it was your comment made to another member which made me also get involved with putting my pics on the "group" site. Yes, Gordon, I do miss my 300mm and most probably that is the lens I will buy again! I regret selling it when I sufferd shoulder trouble carrying my heavy Camera bag on my trip to Sri Lanka in 2013. Couldn't lift my right arm up and suffered severe pain when I did so.
