    Default Red Kite closeup - Milvus milvus

    As I watched the Sparrows being their normal noisey selves I wasn't expecting to use the camera, but along came a Kite wheeling above. Most shots were (as usual) very fuzzy, but although this one fuzzed the wings it gave a fairly clear face. If you've seen the film "Zoolander" then you might just recognise the model pose "Magnum" ;-)
