Red Kite

Post by Mark Cookson »

Nice surprise on this afternoons walk around Jack Green & Mill Wood. Only the 2nd red kite I've seen in the Nats recording area..

It was only about 30 foot over our heads near to the small holdings at Mill Wood (Brindle). Only if I'd of had my camera with me...

Other birds of note:
GS Woodpecker & Bullfinch on feeders at Eagles Nest and Mistle & Song Thrush. Had swift/swallow/house martin over...

Moorhen chicks have finally hatched on small pond by M65 motorway

Guess we ain't going to get any Curlew/Lapwing/Mipits etc nesting now as most of fields have been cut for silage...
