Red Kites.
Took these at Gigrin Farm on Sunday. Im not too happy with them and they are huge crops. I was advised that the 70-200mm would be fine, but it wasnt, way too short for the birds in the air and being literally hundreds when they swoop I had no chance! Anyhow I thought Id post the best of a bad bunch, its an amazing site for anyone to see. They feed the birds each day.
They look much better enlarged.

I think you done well Dawn with the lens you had, that first one is really good
I'd love to go there and see those birds -what a sight that would be, but it's 6.5 hours from where I am so no chance of going there for the day. Maybe book a holiday there at some point in the future
