Hi all,
I was lucky enough to visit Gigrin Farm in Wales at the weekend, where they put food out daily for the local Red Kites.
Amazing to see so many of these stunning birds together.

Filled 8gig of cards in about 45 mins.
Loads of shots to look through, these looked good enough to post.
Taken with 40d/400f5.6L, handheld.

Thanks Steve,
I'm not sure what it was, it looked like a mix of chicken and other stuff, internals and everything. There was lots of it too. At least a wheel barrow full. There must have been at about 100 kites circling overhead.
