Hi all,
We went to Warburg Nature Reserve (B,B & O) primarily to take photos of Red Kites and Buzzards.
I took plenty of photos but although these aren't especially good they show the nest buidling behaviour of a Red Kite who found something that he or she decided to pick up and take with him or her:
What's this I've found:
Yes I've got it:
It's a bit heavy:
Oops I mustn't drop it:
Yes it's still there:
Here is a tagged Red Kite that I took quite a few pictures of:

Hi Chris,
great Red Kite photos there!
Even though you scared the one out of the tree, you captured this one - I'd have probably been trembling with excitement, LOL!
Hi Paul
Thanks for your comments.
I wasn't sure exactly what was happening while the shutter was clicking away, but after the kite flew off OH said he thought it had picked up something from the ground. I couldn't really see it.
I think that the one that I scared out of the tree was a juvenile, and it looked like it had gone a couple of rounds with the Red Kite equivalent of Mike Tyson. This is the one:
Superb photos Chris!! Thank you for sharing!! :-)
