It certainly looks Gigrin-ish.
If it was entered in the "Quirky" category then it's allowed. For all other categories only photos taken at WWT centres are allowed.

Yes, it definitely is a Red Kite and if you open the link and go down to the line:
"Lunch? (more)"
and mouse over "more" it says "Taken at Gigrin Farm" |

Suspicious | I think "Falcon" is Robert BJ's surname. That's Mr Falcon to you!
And the answer to his question "Lunch?" is "Well, if it was already dead maybe, but I'm not gonna kill it!"
