A Red Kite taken today in the county, it looks like it's carrying its lunch which is probably part of a bird. It would be helpful if people could report any Kite sightings, especially for the next few months so that they can be monitored. http://www.friendsofredkites.org.uk/page21.htm
Thanks for the reminder! I keep meaning to do this, but it always slips my mind...
There's at least one of them that regularly flies almost directly over my house in Consett. It scared the living daylights out of one of the cats last time! Ha!!
