Red Kite

Recommended Posts

My youngest daugther and I saw this Red Kite less than a mile from our house yesterday morning. Our local birding website has had no reports of a Red Kite in Hertford before, so it was quite exciting and lovely to know that they are spreading thoughout the county.

Here it is along with a Great spotted woodpecker I saw yesterday aswell.

There have been a lot of breeding programmes so there are a lot more of them around now - beautiful birds! We usually see them when travelling down the M40 to London - around High Wycombe.

 

That's near Phil's folks - they have loads circling around because of all the dead mice etc in the fields. Beacuse they are so high, the kites can sometimes be flying below you, which is wonderful.

My daugther and I went to Christmas Common in Oxfordshire yesterday. We saw about 20 Kites before we got to our destination and by the end of the day we must have seen a hundred easily, here are a couple of photos I took.

They are amazing birds, I am always thrilled to see them, can't get enough.
