Red Kite spot!
 

It's all happening in the sky over Warrington at the mo' :D After my Catalina spot a few days ago a red kite flew over the house this morning getting mobbed by about seven crows! Didn't think our area is common terrain for these birds unless it's a stray from N Wales:shrug: Good to see nevertheless.

When we go to Harewood,there's loads flying about,even diving low for food.Beautiful to watch :bowdown::}

We stayed in Lampeter, Wales last year and saw hundreds of Red Kites. Lovely to see:} They even have special feeding farms for them and you can go and watch literally hundreds all feeding at the same time

I used to have a red kite,but the string broke :getmecoat:

Nice one Ronnie:D
Did it go the same direction as your balloon?

I also had 99 red balloons :getmecoat:

Were they Nena's?

That's her :bowdown: hairy armpits if i remember :getmecoat:

We used to live near Ilkley and popped over there a few time ourselves. I think they had a reintroduction programme there about 6 - 8 years ago. Also went to one of the red kite feeding areas in Dumfries & Galloway a few years ago and that was quite impressive when they put the nosh out.

Yes, it's definitely an impressive sight :}
A few miles up the road from here there is a nice population of red kites too. Often spot them when driving through.
