Thanks for looking

Very nice series indeed! I have no experience in photographing birds in flight so I couldn't image what it takes to capture your dramatic freeze action shots. Well done!

Hi Grant, Another really great series of shots, there are so many good ones it's hard to choose a favourite

I think the Red Kite pictures have to be my favourite as this is a bird I've yet to capture a good shot of myself and so graceful. But the other action shots are a wonderful feat of timing and photography skill too.

Thanks for posting

Fantastic as ever Grant - great to see you posting.
