At last a Red Kite!


I know there are plenty of Red Kites over the border in Rhayader and that the re-introduction of them to Oxfordshire has been very successful, but this is the first I have seen since we've been in Herefordshire. (There was mention in the Hereford Times recently of a sighting) A few years ago I was followed down the A24 in Sussex by one but I think he was just going to Worthing for the week-end. Now one over Yew Tree House - what a beautiful sight. Our local large bird of prey, the buzzard, looks very drab and scruffy alongside the red kite.
