A red kite seen circling over the village of Withington in Gloucestershire on Christmas day morning.
After a good walk around the grounds at Harewood house afterwards with some pals like many visitors we called in at the Moody Boots Cafe. We hadn't seen many of the Red Kites during our walk but a good number were out and about when we returned to the car. It only seemed right to photograph at least one of them.

Another day and another birding session at Hunter Wetlands (Shortland, NSW; Australia) with good mate and fellow flickr photographer Joe Micallef.
Joe spotted this Kite perched on a nearby tree; but it flew over to a windmill nearby and allowed us to approach it close enough to get a few shots of it - hope you like this!!
*** Check it out LARGE on Black!! ***
Thanks for any comments, views or favorites - always appreciated!!!
Hope you have a superb day and week everyone!!!
I remember 30+ years ago having to travel to Wales to see a red kite. These days I see them so regularly, they're a true conservation success story in the UK.
Even though I see these birds frequently I've never had the opportunity to get a decent close shot until last weekend when I spotted this bird drifting low overhead.

Sure of wing and speed, these Kites were playfully slipping through the tree line.
It was such a privilege to spend a few mornings with these endangered birds of prey during our last trip to Florida. They feed almost exclusively on apple snails.
As always, thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving any comments or faves, they are very much appreciated.
This is a couple days before the kites left the area to head south. There were several that were flying around this day. I believe the one kite has a bird in its talons. Hopefully they will return.
A trip out to the Chilterns in Oxfordshire to photograph Red Kites with a couple of my photo buddies. We just happened to pick the hottest day in 2020 with no clouds in the sky.

Kites of all sorts of colors, shapes, characters and sizes flying during Kuwait's National and Liberation Days holidays at Bunaider beach (Al-Farsi International Kites Festival - Kuwait).
This one persistently circlinh Hammerton Zoo and diving in to the Cheetah enclosure... I didn't see him catch one though...
Being still in Covid-19 Lockdown I have to restrict my wildlife photography to what I can capture from my garden. Fortunately, although we only have a small garden, we live in a very rural area of Norfolk. We are lucky to have a fairly varied amount of wildlife visit our garden here. Yesterday, we were treated to this quite low flypast by this amazing Red Kite right above our house. So who needs to go out to find wildlife to photograph when these amazing birds of prey put on a great display for us at home.
There are often kites flying from Singapore Marina Barrage. This particular Sunday afternoon was quite busy with some unusual types.
The snail kite is a locally endangered species in the Florida Everglades, with a population of less than 400 breeding pairs. Research has demonstrated that water-level control in the Everglades is depleting the population of apple snails.
Whistling Kite

This young Whistling Kite was tucked away under the canopy of a River Red Gum.
The fine wing edge markings showed well in the sunshine.
Wikipedia: The black kite (Milvus migrans) is a medium-sized bird of prey in the family Accipitridae, which also includes many other diurnal raptors. It is thought to be the world's most abundant species of Accipitridae, although some populations have experienced dramatic declines or fluctuations. Current global population estimates run up to 6 million individuals. Unlike others of the group, black kites are opportunistic hunters and are more likely to scavenge. They spend much time soaring and gliding in thermals in search of food. Their angled wing and distinctive forked tail make them easy to identify. They are also vociferous with a shrill whinnying call. This kite is widely distributed through the temperate and tropical parts of Eurasia and parts of Australasia and Oceania, with the temperate region populations tending to be migratory. Several subspecies are recognized and formerly had their own English names. The European populations are small, but the South Asian population is very large.

Mix a strong wind, with some frisky Black Kites and enjoy an airshow.
This one pulled a turn in front of me, and I was so busy watching the light on the face, that I missed the wingtip.
Photographed this Whistling Kite while staying a Bamurru Plains Camp in the Northern Territory, Australia.
The whistling kite is a medium-sized diurnal raptor found throughout Australia, New Caledonia and much of New Guinea. Also called the whistling eagle or whistling hawk, it is named for its loud whistling call, which it often gives in flight.
