This is Saffron, a beautiful Red Kite that lives at the National Botanic Garden of Wales and is part of The British Bird of Prey Centre team. She's a magnificent bird, and I was privileged to be able to get very close to her and take lots of reference photographs for this red kite painting.
The red kite is the Welsh national bird, less than 30 years ago there were only 1 or 2 known breeding pairs left in Wales, they were fully extinct in Scotland and England, now there are 2500+ breeding pairs of red kites in Wales.
See my new big red kites flying painting here, it's got 9 red kites in it!
