I'm just trying to post a photo!

Anyway, a Red Kite taken in the rain at an unpronounceable location in mid Wales. Sorry about the logo.
ƒ/3.5 200.0 mm 1/1000 800iso Flash (off, did not fire)

Very nicely done.

very well captured image; what is clipped on to its wing? a camera?

[senojbor]

It's a tracker to monitor it's movements and behaviour

Thank you Rob J

Good image, sharp where it counts on the eye. The sun from the left has given the tail a wonderful backlight, and the rain adds to the whole image, placing the bird in it's element.

A fine image. Did you have to crop in to it much - it would have to be very close to get that format at 200mm focal length ?

Hardly any David, it was very close
