Red Kites

[Big J R]

Glad to see they have returned from where ever this year.

 

Youngest daughter has been watching two pairs, and today I have been watching one of last years youngsters patroilling over Southern Dorking on his own.

 

 

QUICK UPDATE.

 

Good news !!  I saw a seperate pair of juvenile red kites, possibly this years brood as they were smallish, circling near to Gatwick airport last Wednesday.  They really do seem to be doing very well.

Yeah have seen a few around Gatwick of late and don't forget they had a short toed eagle at Ashdown forest only some 15 miles away a few weeks back

WOW !

 

There have been three or four pairs of Red Kites circling the A.24 south of Dorking in the past week.  Obvioulsy looking for road-kill.

 

Great to see.

Plenty of red kite activity around the Mole Valley area in the last few weeks causing comment in the local press.

 

Youngest daughter has got a couple of photo-shots of a pair circling over her garden.

 

My long range camera is ready to go on my living room table.
