We were lucky enough to have this close encounter with a Red Kite (Milvus milvus) yesterday! Totally wild and free! They are such beautiful birds.

My first Red Kite. They show amazing agility in flight and we were thrilled to see one of these wild and free overhead in the glorious sunshine today.

Just another Red Kite from our sighting the other day. This was my favourite shot but my wife preferred the first two, so I was overruled! Lol. I've posted this while she's not looking! Shh!
