There have been several sightings of Red Kite over the reserve over the last few months including last weekend but none of us had caught up with one till about half hour ago when a call from Nicole on eth radio had us scampering for our bins and cameras as it flew over the woodland and then down the Mar Dyke and across the Thames.
Quite tatty and looking like an immature bird but very welcome none the less.
Six Continental Black-tailed Godwits, a family of Little Ringed Plovers, Peregrine and Cuckoo have been the day's highlights.
