OH and I had a picnic down by the Thames at Henley yesterday and had a lovely time watching all the different boats and rowers. There weren't that many birds, but we did see Mute Swans, Canada Geese and goslings, Mallards and ducklings, coots, moorhens, common tern, black headed gull and many, many swifts and swallows - but they were far too quick for our cameras. What really made the afternoon for us were three Red Kite who circled above us the whole time we were there.
