Craig Jones Wildlife Photography
The Different One
Just spent a great week in Wales photographing some beautiful wildlife this beautiful place has to offer with a group of friends/wildlife photographers.I went to Gigrin for the very first time to photograph the beautiful Red Kites when this 'Leucistic' Kite turned up.It has started to visit the feeding station more and more after being born in 2003 and until recently had'nt been seen for some time I was told by the owners of Gigrin.Leucistic means that the colouration is mainly pure white and not the usual red or black of the normal kites and not to be confused with an 'Albino' as these lack colouring and have pink eyes unlike the yellow/blue eyes of this beautiful Leucistic Kite.The weather was changing thoughout the day and here I captured him just lifting off almost like a RAF 'Heavy Bomber'pose and the BG is the overcast conditons I had,with the grey/white clouds forming a dividing line here,its very different I feel and shows what ever the weather throws at you there is always a shot to be had and I hope you like him,please view large in 'All Sizes'
