Red Kites often feed on the wing, makes sense as it saves time and energy on landing then taking off again.

Parental Responsibilities

We have a nest box outside which is currently being noisily occupied by a number of great tit chicks.  As the adults were constantly going back and forward to the bird box to feed the chicks it presented me with the opportunity to capture them in flight.  I set my camera up on my tripod and using a wireless shutter remote I simply sat and waited.
