Red KIte at Wintertime

This was more of a panning shot, so I was fortunate to get such good detail at a relatively slow shutter speed. It also helped I was shooting with a prime lens.

 

The red kite in the photo is part of an indigenouus breed thriving in Mid Wales, thanks to concerted efforts to conserve and expand the number. In other parts of the UK they have had to be re- introduced from mainland Europe. I think against a snow background they show their true colours remarkably well!

 

Take a look at my photostream for all things nature - birds, butterflies, mammals, insects, frogs and flowers, and more!

 

Importantly, have a good day! 👍✨🎉
