Andrea drove through Weardley earlier today and watched a Red Kite for a few minutes as it threw some shapes together. The Yorkshire Red Kite website is a great source of information about these birds. In terms of local sightings we've seen one fly over our house in Kirkstall, had a couple of sightings over the allotment and regular weekend sightings in the Spen Lane/ring road area.
You are so fortunate to have this beautiful species close to home.
ReplyDeleteA couple of nice photos there.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos of such beautiful birds. I would love to see one over my garden!
ReplyDeleteHello Frank, John & Ragged Robin, thanks, Andrea took some nice pics of the Red Kite, I'll be sure to pass on your comments. They are a super bird & always a treat to watch them. Best wishes, Linda
