The birds they mock me
Discussion
Been on the same walk a few times, always a lot of Red Kites about, they never come close or come close when it's a dull day.
Yesterday everything fell into place.
Taken on a Sony A580 using a Sigma 150-500mm

Tricky conditions for my wee camera - 600mm at f4 and iso 1600 was only getting me around 1/200 so not ideal but great fun and a few half decent results ![smile](/inc/images/smile.gif)
