I'm sitting here in my new home, whilst typing this I'm watching 4 red kites "playing around" and making a load of noise above the garden. I could get used to this...

Another one over my Watford garden today (very high up)... we'll all be having them soon, with any luck.

That must be a lovely sight Helen. I remember when I first saw Buzzards circling over our house.Maybe the Kites are next. I certainly hope you are right Andy.

Robin, I'll swap you a kite for broadband! Plenty of 'em to go around.

Pete - the flycatcher is a regular visitor in the garden, great spot was next door, treecreeper on the drive and buzzards (seem to be 2 regular visitors) were above the garden - does that count?

Saw a Red Kite being mobbed by Carrion Crows on the M1 near Luton yesterday. The only time I've seen Red Kites in Britain is whilst I'm doing 80 mph on the M1 or M40!

You should see the motorbike riders on the A40 through our neck of the woods. More like 180mph.
