Red Kite sitting on top of a tree and flying

Not only the Imperial Eagle but also several other birds of prey where on my list of birds that I took pictures of this weekend. And finally I managed to take some pictures of the bird sitting on top of a tree, unfortunately the light situation was pretty bad and I had to bump up the ISO on my Camera. 😥 But at leas I was able to get some pictures of the bird sitting, usually I only manage to take some shots of the bird flying since getting close enough to a sitting bird is pretty difficult because of the bird fleeing.

The spot where I spent the last weekend was a very nice spot for birds of prey and birds like the white tailed eagle, the imperial eagle and the red kite as well as several buteos showed their flying skills right infront of me. I managed to take several pictures of them and I am pretty happy with the results eventhough the light Situation was not the best and I had compensate the lack of light with a higher ISO and that's why some pictures look a little grainy. 😢 Next time I need a little bit more light from the sun, but not too much. But you always have to make the best out of the situation and try to improove the pictures afterwards. This is something that I still need to learn since I am not good at Photoshop. I hope I can improove my photoshop skills a little bit when it is bad weather outside in winter and I have some time to learn photoshop with Youtube.
