Trains of Kites .....

Anyone see Countryfile this evening ?
Kite Championships on the Wirral ..
They showed us Falcon kites used for pest control after the Falconer has 'left the field' ...
The kites are kept aloft on what looks like extremely long carbon fibre fishing poles !!

I have seen these several times over the years. They need changing after a while, as with everything the Birds get used to them, realising they don't get attacked.
