Photo taken during a long bike ride on Sunday, at a lovely spot just off the uninvitingly named Rabies Heath road. With the hills of the North Downs in the distance.
Most of my red kite pics are taken mid stoop. This pic therefore breaks the usual mould.
I really liked the way the bird was clearly looking directly at me no doubt weighing me up. Interestingly though the birds are used to being fed they remain sensibly wary of humans.
Red kites in Yorkshire are a fantastic advert for conservation, but sadly there are those in the darker elements of society, who even in this century, believe it is ok to illegally kill these beautiful birds.

Shadow walking
Birds are talking
On the Winter breeze
Shadows spreading
Down they are heading
Under the rising trees
Shadows fall,without a sound
On the wild. waiting ground
Where they kiss, the fallen leaves
Rising up to the spreading sky
Home to the birds that do fly
Under its branches, lovers stand
Lips on lips, hand in hand
Resting against the now bare tree
Their is love exposed for all to see
Lips on lips, passion found
On the green Winter ground
Home to nature, as birds they fly
Spreading sweet love across the sky
