It would be nice to have some kind of feedback that could be given to the children on how usual or unusual such a sighting is especially as their sighting seems to have turned them into mad keen birdwatchers!

I was at a talk on Wednesday given by John Birkett from Croydon RSPB.
He said that a Red Kite had been spotted quite a few times now over South Norwood CP.
There have also been several sightings of a Red Kite over Beddington Sewage farm which is about 4 miles SW of there (recorded on Johnny Allen's website http://www.diporglory.co.uk/page2.html) so keep looking up and you may see one again soon!
