The famous and extremely rare .

Leucistic red kites are defined as the complete or partial absence of eumelanin and pheomelanin in one or more feathers, but not in the eyes, bill or feet. This results in white patches in all or part of the plumage.

It is believed that there are only 10 in the world, and 3 have been seen in the Welsh hills.

I was privileged to see 2 of them that have been visitng the for feeding, more pictures of these rare white kites to follow!

A couple of pictures of that I managed to process after coming home taking almost 4000 images. Thanks to , almost 80% of the images are sharp in focus but its also time consuming to sort through so many images for the perfect pose and wing positions. The rest of 20% that are not perfect are either from my own fault or the bird got so big in the frame that I clipped the wings!

Am I complaining.... absolutely not....! I'll rather spend hours sorting through the images than miss a shot coz I didn't utilise the full power of . It almost feel like cheating using such a powerhouse for shots.

Powerhouse such as also needs a powerful battery. And although Nikon's OEM EN-EL 15c is good, a massive shout out to for making a 2600mAh that kept the Z8 going until the very end when I had to change the battery. This is by no means a sponsored post but I won't mind recommending this third-party battery to any nikon Z8 users who may be left wanting a little more from Nikon's original battery.

Thanks for organising this photography day with in collaboration with . Had such an excellent day photographing and testing various lenses 😃

I know this is not a wildlife photo to be exact, but in a busy life where other commitments take priority, I'll take opportunities like this for my .

What do you think, is it cheating taking pictures at a falconry centre or can it still make my portfolio?

Not every shot can be a colourful sunrise or sunset, sometimes shots taken in the broad daylight could also be worth taking your camera out, all you need is a pretty location and a 10stop filter 😉😂🤣🤷🏻‍♂️

This shot has been in my bucket list ever since I planned my 1st trip to NZ in 2019. 4yrs later and boom!! It's not always that you get such perfect conditions when it comes to landscape photography, but as the luck would have it, I got this shot on my first day at this location. I almost missed it as I was a bit lazy to wake up early and had to run to get to the spot in time. 2 days in a row after that, and the right conditions were never there.

These fishing cottages made such a picturesque foreground for the dancing northern lights in the sky.
Dare I say this is the best aurora show that I've seen so far and I've been chasing lights for a while now. The obsession started when I first saw the aurora in Finland in 2016 and since then, I find myself travelling in search of these elusive green lights almost every year. It's like it's pulling me like siren's song pulls a sailer in the sea!
