con Canon EF 1.4x II, 1/8000 f/8.0, ISO 800, hand held. Specie: Milvus milvus

A shot of a Leucistic Red Kite, taken at the Gigrin Farm Red Kite feeding station in Wales. There are 2 Leucistic red Kite's at Gigrin and luckily for me/the photo, this was the one without the huge wing tags :) Leucism "is a condition characterized by reduced pigmentation in animals. Unlike albinism, it is caused by a reduction in all types of skin pigment, not just melanin". The two Leucistic Red Kite's at Gigrin were really getting a hard time from the other Kite's (and they were both noticably smaller than their "Red" counterparts), so I would surmise that Leucism is a major disadvantage for wild animals. Their success must have a lot to do with the feeding station, where dinner is served every day of the year...........so this is a completely Wild bird, but the level of difficulty in finding the birds and getting them to come close is very small (because of the "feeding Station").......the biggest challenge was my 5d2's horrendously pathethic Auto Focus LOL (how I wished for a 7D, 1D4, 1DX....or D4 ;-)).....this is cropped quite a lot (reduced to 6MP from 21MP....which is quite a lot!) Thanks for looking, cheers! :-)

It would be simplistic to write good ...
It 'a photographic capture more' unique setting for another run perfectly and with so much to handle.
I think that besides the congratulations also go to the meeting for the skill in portraying him so perfectly
