Milvus milvus - A day spent at Gigrin Farm in Wales was photographically worth the long drive from my home. The spectacle of fifty plus kites (and several buzzards to add to the raptor count) filling the air, tumbling and swooping to snatch bits of bait from the ground was amazing...and amazingly difficult to photograph due to the speed of their dives. I managed to catch this kite just as it banked into a dive with its head rotated and fixed on its target.

If you are a bird of prey fan, I strongly recommend a visit to Gigrin Farm.
