    Default Red Kite at Sonning Common

    Snapped this one at Sonning Common, was quite high most of the time, but dropped down for a short period and allowed me to get the picture.

    I'm sure that they'll make their way down to you in a relatively short period of time Chocky, they are starting to outgrow their territories up here.

    Tha particular shot, was the only usable one out of fifty or more.

    Why was it the only usable shot out of fifty?
    Fifty birds or fifty shots of one bird?
