pi$$ed these two of last week

they came down just after these pictures and just missed my head

 

Why, do you wear a wig that it mistook for a rodent?

 

Stunning birds.

Only seen them in the wild twice.

 

haha the poxy women next door puts a lots of food out which attacts seaguls who never miss my car,after i moved it and on the way back they swooped down probably thinking i had it

 

Red Kites, stunning.......
Good pictures Raphael.

 

Kites you say .... bloody realistic

 

Fab pics n nature at its best

 

There are lots and lots of them in the High Wycombe, Aylesbury area.

 

Loads in Abingdon as well. I've even seen them in my back garden.

 

Loads at sweet lamb on the way to Aberystwyth ,

Got all the hide outs to watch them coming over the lake ,

Stunning ....

 

They were hunted to the point they almost vanished, now as folk say the M40 corridor through Bucks / Oxon is full of them

 

theres a good place in powys called gigrin farm,amazing place if you like red kites and buzzards

 

I think they reintroduced them from pairs taken from abroad , Norway poss Sweeden I think

 

they re introduced the kites in the bucks area from sweden.denmark or somewhere like that and the young from over here taken to the north east and introduced up there

yeah i know im sad!!lol

 

sorry nutty tart didnt see your post until after

 

Yur OK bud ... There was only a minute between us , possibly less

Great minds ehh ??????

 

Yeah, you're right, sadly killed off by gamekeepers and land owners up here years ago.
The RSPB have a few sites where they have successfully managed to reintroduce them from young from Norway and now have a successful breading program.
Absolutely stunning birds.
I nearly caused a pile up when I spotted them circulating above the road on the way back up from a course in Kawasaki.
Couldn't believe how many there were.

To have them in your garden must be awesome, I could watch them for hours.......
