Black Monk Posted December 5, 2016 #1 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Swooping across the sky, this red kite was captured playing a breathtaking game of catch in mid-air. The bird of prey picked up a tennis ball with its talons and lifted it into the air in a stunning display at Ivinghoe Beacon on the Chilterns, in Buckinghamshire. Moments later the kite dropped the ball and dived to catch it before it hit the ground. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4001172/Game-catch-Red-kite-skilfully-juggles-TENNIS-BALL-talons.html 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still Waters Posted December 5, 2016 #2 Share Posted December 5, 2016 The bird probably thought it was food. Great photos, it would have been great to have seen that in person, the guy was lucky 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldrover Posted December 5, 2016 #3 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I've got very mixed feelings about the red kite. On the one hand it's wonderful to see them, on the other the amount of feeding stations round here now has led to huge numbers. I really do mean huge numbers too. Far more than is natural. Other birds of prey on the other hand are much more rarely seen now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
