...and here's when I was spotted:

...and then this common buzzard not long after me:

...but it was soon decided that unfortunately the buzzard could not stay...

...so he was kindly shown the shortest way out of the area with the bonus of providing educational material on 'how to tell a kite from a buzzard' :-) :

Great series. Love # 3.

Wonderful series and first rate quality.


I have seen this go the other way with a pair of each species. They circled around as bit taking a look at each other and then the Kites moved on up the ridge line.

Love it!!
