Feeding Red Kites Pt2

[ciderminx]

We get the red kites flying over work all the time. They were reintroduced to a place called Fineshade. Weird when you see the crows mobbing them, you'd think they would stick up for themselves a bit more. Especially with a smelly little crow.

Been waiting almost a year since we moved in to this house to capture a pic... but finally

It was over my house earlier too. Watched it gain at least 500ft on a thermal, not flapping once

All birds of prey are prone to "mobbing" by other, smaller birds. Small birds of prey will even mob larger BOP.

I've seen 2 together over the Henley Road, and on Easter Monday there were 4!

Mrs S and I were walking near Princes Risborough over the easter weekend, and we saw 7 (yes, seven) of them circling as if part of a big Kite party!! Beautiful birds!
