The Kite at the wetlands seems to be getting upset with me when i ignore it.
I take a couple of shots of him on his perch then i move on and look for other Raptors.
Lately while i am looking around he flys towards me and calls and passes over me about 3-4 metres above me
then starts to hover in the paddock looking for mice.
I ignore him again and next thing i know he calls just as he is going over me with a mouse, but he is too close and i can't get decent shots. I think i will start taking my 70-200 when i go to shoot him next time.
Anyway here is a "different" pic from his perch.

Oh Shorty, you poor poor thing
, a raptor that comes too close! Pfft, you know how I feel about your raptor "abundance" (jealous emoticon, if I could find one). Seriously though, that is a beauty of a shot for detail on those talons & scales
