| | | Seen a Kite at last
Comming back from gloucestershire and a bushcraft meet, down the M4 near Reading and there up above the motorway was my first sighting of a Red Kite, wow they are big arn't they. About 1 mile further and I saw a group of 8 or nine of them besides the motorway. Really pleased to see them, though my birds to see list is getting smaller................Jon (chuffed) |

I have not yet been able to get a photograph but sometimes they fly really low over the houses. They are amazing.

Must have been a great sight. I've never seen one. Living up here in the midlands, Red Kites are slightly rare! |

Superb birds and when you see several with Buzzards as well, need I say more. Spectacular!

You've just talked yourself into more work..  |
