Comment on Red Kite over Firle by Charlie Peverett

I’m jealous – seems a lot of people in Glynde are seeing Red Kites at the moment. Thus far all I’ve managed is a ‘probable’ from the train…

Saw a Peregrine circling fairly low over Glynde this morning. Great to see so many more raptors around.

Hi Charlie

I looked out the window at about 12:20 today (working hard as usual) and saw a Red Kite over Church field in Glynde.

My first thought was “That buzzard is unusually low” (it was about tree-top height), then I thought hang-on that doesn’t look quite right, saw the tail and realised what it was.

It seemed to be inspecting the field, looking for food I guess, and moved down to the allotments before I lost sight of it.

The first sighting for me around here.

Thanks Steve for pointing out that post, fascinating. I’ve never looked for the Burnt-tip Orchids… Hmmm!

Cheers Jon, I couldn’t possibly comment about Sam, other than to say he sang it beautifully Will have to come along to a show and hear Jill and Lucy’s version sometime.

I don’t know about blogging…we’ve certainly been blagging it! That Sam Lee gets about doesn’t he. Lemony is a beautiful song which Jill and Lucy sing as a duet.

Still singing over the last few days - characteristic thin squeaks can be heard from near the Crescent, in The Street. You can hear the song on the RSPB website.
