Red Kite in flight

Red Kite in flight

One thing I like about where I live is we get Buzzards and Red Kites like this one that fly around the area. I think that they are real masters of the sky, they can come down to around 20 feet and then be gone up to around a thousand feet.

The way they find thermals to ride on is very clever, sometimes I am lucky enough to see them flying quite close to the ground, this was a picture I took from a video and the Kite was about thirty feet up over some woods on the edge of a field.

Its the nearest thing we have to an Eagle around where I live!

  • I often times sit and watch skies for our many birds from Hummingbirds to Hawks, Buzzards. In spring a young Eagle my bless us by coming to the valley and learning to hunt. Blackbird

    • I guess that is great to see, I am lucky to live out of a town.
