Hi to everyone
I have recently joined the RSPB and have set up quite a few feeders in my garden and enjoy practicing my photography (keen amateur) and I generally have my camera set up on a tripod pointing at the feeders while I do some work on the pc so excuse the photo as I was a little over exited when I saw a red kite in the sky outside its not easy grabbing a camera on a heavy tripod change the setting try and bend it up at the sky and take a photo I have normally only seen these birds when I was working in the Chilterns (I do not know if they are popular around here) I would have taken it off the tripod but that takes time as its not on a quick release and I did not want to miss the shot or 2 so i thought I just had to share this then may be I can find out if we can expect to see some more of them in the near future i am near farmers fields close to the Milton Keynes to Leighton Buzzard by pass road if that helps I call south Milton Keynes
I have put the 1st pic in to show how far away he was the others are just cropped
Thank you in advance for looking

collared dove i think (edit) wood pigeon of course.....just seen one perched on my fence!
wow fantastic photos. we've just moved from drayton parslow just south of mk and were getting used to seeing more red kites every year way above our garden. looks like the territories of the chiltern tribe and those from north mk are starting to overlap.
