They were talking about the success of the reintroduction of Red Kites on R4 Today this morning. About 8.20 I think.

Having returned to work in Northamptonshire in the past year, I’ve been seeing them more than I did around 3 years ago.

I'm spoilt with red kites, over the house most days :)
- fewer buzzards than there used to be though and I haven't been "attacked" by the grumpy one when I run under its nest yet this year - I hope they're OK.

No red kites for me this year unless I manage to get my running distance up to about 20 miles 😃 They haven't reached the North Wales coast yet.

Sat in the garden being as still as possible getting an inordinate amount of pleasure watching the antics of the starling fledglings.

Youngest got a good shot of one of the Cambridge peregrine pair yesterday - there’s 3 chicks in the nest but they didn’t see them although they could certainly hear them!

Great picture

I saw peregrines regularly in the past at a natural nest site ie not urban building. Late May was always a good time to go because the young would be a decent size and demanding in terms of food. The adult birds are very vocal and a returning adult with food always a highlight

Looks like crow for lunch in Salisbury. Parent just flew in with a large black crow (probably), looked bigger than Bruce, or Fiona, whichever one it was.
