I expect to hear the flutter of tiny wings soon!

Had the most awesome day at Claire Carter and Hawkeye Bird of Prey Photography Workshop in Thoresby Park. A privilege to get close to such beautiful birds and I learned such a lot about bird photography that I hope I can put in to practice in future. My photos (just a few here out of 100s I took today) are pale imitations of what is achievable but I'm happy with (some of) my efforts with limited kit.

Here is another beauty... Thanks for looking.

Mom feeding her two babies. The one on the left is larger and more agressive and was getting most of the food. She/he kept knocking the other back, but mom is a good mother and she would occasionally hand a hunk over to the smaller eaglet. After a bit the larger of the two got full and mom began feeding the little guy.

This picture is dedicated to Steve Ward, Wildlife photographer who took me from non-photographer to a level where I am able to get pictures of birds in flight and who very kindly shared his local knowledge with me to enable me to get this series of pictures today Cheers Steve

The Red Kite; a magnificently graceful bird of prey is unmistakable with its reddish-brown body, angled wings and deeply forked tail. It was saved from national extinction by one of the world's longest running protection programmes, and has now been successfully re-introduced to England and Scotland.
