Red Kite

Over the weekend of the 30th & 31st May i added Red Kite to my garden bird list, in fact i added in total 146 Red Kites !!!

Every year we get a large movement of Red Kites through this part of Kent but this is the most i have personally seen pass overhead.

I have only been at my new address for 18 months so was very pleased to add this wonderful bird to my Garden list, i also added over the weekend  3 Cormorants, 2 Great Black Backed Gulls & a single Greenfinch.



Here are a few pics i took of some of them :

I also saw 2 Common Buzzards but not sure if they were local birds or birds caught up in the Red Kite movement.
