Catch me if you can
The Red Kite is a graceful bird of prey which is unmistakable with its reddish-brown body, angled wings and deeply forked tail. It was saved from national extinction by one of the world's longest running protection programmes, and has now been successfully re-introduced to England and Scotland.
I find these birds particular challenging to photograph; especially in the dive as they are so fast. But this sequence of shots was photographed on a recent visit to the Chilterns in Oxfordshire; an area known for it's significant kite population.
