Up close with a Red kite.

Well.. After 2-3 month of watching these birds i managed to get within 6ft of a red kite.. who was more than happy to pose for me. Heres two of the best shots i have.

I took 54 photos before he flew too far for me to follow..

C&C welcome.

Cheers guys! It's an amazing bird to watch, this was a young one but still towered over me when it took off.

I'd love to do this for a living tbh..!
