Red Kites in Slow Motion – The Slow Mo Guys

In this video, Gav gives us a look at a group of the birds of prey known as Red Kites as they swoop for bacon scraps outside a cafe.

This was shot at 2500fps (100 times slower than real-time).

Robert John Martin, from Surrey in England, reports on Twitter today:

Staines Moor 14:00 – 16:30 Red Kite 2; Little Egret 2; Hobby 2; Common Buzzard 1; Common Tern 3.
