This is one hell of a shot Mike and goes straight to the top of my short-list for this week. The contrast between the pin-sharp rusty red plumage and the frost covered grass makes the Kite leap out of the image. A truly stunning shot and one to be extremely proud of

Cracking image Mike, the best I've ever seen. I think it's the early morning frost that makes this image special and the low pov.
