Red Kite Hunting Oakham Rutland


Red Kite Hunting Oakham Rutland it's a pity it only
stopped at a distance too far for my camera.

This morning on my way to Langham, I spotted this
Red Kite flying up high over the new County Show
Showground.

It was amazing to watch how this bird flies around,
stops in mid air wings stretched out like above.

It's first attempt to catch a small bird flying failed

I did not have to wait to long to see it dive at speed
to the ground in the distance,
I assume to catch a rabbit.

I wonder if next weekends hamburgers from the
County Show will be on the menu?

It's good to see the bird remains in Rutland, in the
past some have been poisoned.
