Tinea semifulvella first for the Plodland MV this morning
Red Kite from the garden
After emptying the MV this morning I joined DW at the turning circle for c30 minutes, he told me a Red Kite had toured The Point but now disappeared. Off shore a few Gannets, Sandwich and Common Terns were seen along with a Mediterranean Gull but little else.
I went back home and breakfast al fresco scanning the sky in front my house, the Herring Gulls started alarming, I looked up expecting another Common Buzzard but was pleased to see a Red Kite which is still a scarce bird here, Marsh Harrier, Sparrowhawk, Hobby, Kestrel, Raven and c150 Swifts were also seen from the garden this morning.
