Description

While in Gardens Park one day, I was focusing on a kite in a tree when all of a sudden another bird appeared and there was a bit of a commotion. I managed to get a couple of shots off and when I looked at them later I saw from the first picture that a parent kite landed on the branch with an insect in its mouth and junior was on the way to claim it. The second picture (this submission) shows the parent bird looking on as junior clutches the insect in one foot and prepares to eat.
