Nikki, here it is just prior to the real pic - always running with the nose on the ground - they seem to be real opportunists and very alert...

Beautiful pictures!

I believe that is a Red Kite. If it is you are very lucky! They are pretty rare. Very beautiful animals and plants. :) Im jealous.

Thanks. Glad you like them.

Moose, I think it is a Black Kite, we do not have the red kite here.
