    Taken through the window. A young kite (note eye colour and plumage) in Aug.The kites regularly come down to drink out of an old pond liner I have, filled with water. Kites, buzzard, sparrowhawks, and crows use it regularly.

    It was amusing to find a Swallow in the frame but I don't think there wany interaction between the birds. Just a coincidence.

    Three more pictures from our spring trip To Lake Takern and Skåne in the far south of Sweden. All 3 today are from Skåne. I don't usually post pictures unless I get the entire bird in the frame but I'm making an exception here. This is the closest I've been to a Red Kite.

    I got a lot closer than usual for this one. It looks a lot better full size but you'll have to take my word for that. 😉

    Saturday fun - an unwelcome visit

    We were at Lake Tkern last weekend. The weather forecast was dreadful but we had some luck and I took an awful lot of pictures. This one's from the far south of Sweden at Easter though.

    The furthest north we've ever seen a Red Kite was from the car on the way home from our holiday in Vrmland this summer. Lake Tkern is a bit further south and I've seen one there before. But this time there were three of them. They're spreading northwards and not all that slowly. A success story...

    During our visit to Skne in the south of Sweden at Easter we went to Flyinge to photograph White Storks. I'll be posting some of my stork photos later but while we were there a sub-adult White-tailed Eagle flew overhead and there were also quite a few Red Kites around.

    Definitely the last of these When we were trying to photograph the Bitterns a man who was observing dragonflies came along. He was astonished and very skeptical when we said that we had seen Bitterns in flight several times. That just didn't happen he implied. After about 10 minutes a Bittern...
