Spent most of the day cooking ! - A Red Kite flew over the field this morning seen from the bedroom window. Have seen a couple of Red Kite's this year near home and generally get one or two sightings a year but mostly in spring, and not before in November.
Bizarely news of a Red-Flanked Bluetail in Sussex was broadcast last night but only seen last weekend relating to a bird first reported last Sunday near Liphook in Hampshire, just must have got the county boundaries wrong. Turns out it was at a place called Stanley Common, which is less than 10 miles from the house and only a couple of miles from where the girls go to school, so as well as being a first for the county I would have regarded this as being in the local vicinity ! Glad I caught up with the bird in Norfolk last month but still a real shame - no idea of the details - could have been on private land but Stanley Common is riddled with public footpaths - Bummer !.
