Red Kite in the Chilterns
I find Red Kites particular challenging to photograph. They just have this tendency to tease you, hovering 50ft in the air. Sure you can catch them with a rather blown background of the sky having over exposed a couple of stops for your subject; but to catch them in a dive or at ground level you have to be quick. For this series I just went hand held with a 200 f2 hunkered up in the Gilly suit. Suffice to say I got some strange looks!
