No, neither did I pleb.  I've seen Buzzards and Sparrowhawks before round Brantingham before but never Red Kites.
 
Great shot adalard - definitely worthy of the Caption Competition  ;D

The place to get really good kite shots is at a cafe in Harewood village they feed the Kites so they come in really close.

Yes, I've seen them at Harewood MWM.  I think I was just so surprised to see one local(ish) to me (and even more surprised my pic turned out as non-blurry as it did  ;D  ) ... It made my walk  :)

A surprise guest visited for brekkie yesterday morning!  Photographed from my bedroom window, hence not the best shots...

Beautiful sparrowhawk. One caught and devoured a starling :( on my lawn recently leaving only the beak as evidence.

Just love the 'advanced-balanced;banana' yoga pose followed by 'ta-da!' and omg moment seal pics.
So many paths yet to walk, so little time left

Love those - I have a real soft spot for seals since my childhood - we used to sail dinghies off the Anglesey coast and they would play round the boat.

Great shots of the sparrowhawk, lovely looking bird, a tad gruesome mind  ;)

Love the seal shots  O0

In the last shot, was it saying "Oh no, I've left the heating on"

April, I think he was just fed up with me pointing my camera at him!


Got a lovely bit of video too but I don't know how to post that on here :-\

Great pics. Haven't been to Bempton since going photographically digital - time for another visit.

Fantastic photos, Sunnydale.  O0


How wonderful to see that sparrowhawk in the garden! And I love the photos of the gannets - I never realised they had that beautiful colouring on their head and neck.
