    33 Red Kites

    Hello Yesterday I counted 9 Red Kites circling and landing in an Ash tree near Minterne Gardens in Dorset. Walking home this evening I counted 33 Red Kites and 6 Buzzards all circling together above the same tree. I never seen so many birds of prey at one time!

    Ross's Gull Radipole Lakes

    Finally got down to Dorset to try and see the Ross's. It made us sweat a bit, not being reported between 8:15 and 11:15 when it made it's usual visit to Radipole. Very smart little gull, with a hell of a gob on it for the size of its head

    The morning I noticed this bird was the day Alan Pearce (Photographer/ Birder) was out and just as well because I wasn't able to grab a image & such a good one at that! This photo has been cropped close by me so hopefully we can work out which part of Europe he came from any ideas? Spain?
