Red Kite

I've been to the same area trying to get a decent shot of a red kite. Every time it's been overcast and dull.
The day before this shot was taken I'd been to the same location in glorious sunshine but didn't get close enough to one of these magnificent soaring birds, another trip was needed the very next day to capture this shot, which happens to be one of a few I wanted to submit.
I may submit a few more Red Kite shots depending on how I feel, on the other hand I may relegate this one to my scraps if another one better catches my eye!
