The theme of the week's competition was Airborne and my initial instinct was, thinking aircraft, that I didn't have anything suitable to enter. but then my mind turned to my feathered friends and I sought out some images of birds in flight. I submitted 3 images; a silhouette of a heron in flight at Wormleighton Reservoir, a gull in flight at the same location and one of my best images, a Red Kite photographed at Watlington. The Red Kite turned out to be the winner; it is to my mind one of my best images.
