Peter, a wonderful head-on view of the Kite. The light, detail, and stare are awesome.

Sounds like Gigrin Farm, Peter - but its still not that easy to get such a good shot as this. Well done!

Ah! Thanks for that, Peter. We've been to the one in Dumfries and Galloway, Bellymack Hill Farm, Laurieston, Castle Douglas. We saw a lot of Red Kites but the hides were not facing in the best direction for the daily feed when the sun was shining - straight in your face! Not the best for photography. On an overcast day it would be much better.
