Culmstock Kites

Further to Ed’s post yesterday morning, took my camera down there in the late afternoon and it was a feast! Eight Kites, four Buzzards a Kestrel, a couple of Ravens and some Black Back Gulls all feasting on the various mammals escaping the machines as the farmer collected his silage harvest.

Just two of the 260 images I shot, you’ve got to love digital when it comes to this sort of thins.

Sony RX10 Mk4 camera.
