A pair of red kites are nest building in a tall oak tree in sight of our lounge window; exciting 
That’s great, i saw one for only the third time last year. They are a very strikingly handsome raptor.A pair of red kites are nest building in a tall oak tree in sight of our lounge window; exciting
Red Kites are a Positive News Story in themselves. A fantastic come back!
Pop to Buckinghamshire - we have hundreds. It's the norm to see multiples every day (and I still enjoy watching them!!)
Our local red kite was circling over me just now as I was bringing the bins in. It's probably clocked my age and marked me down as a potential meal. Hope the jackdaws and rooks in the trees opposite keep up their usual mobbing.
Alas none down in my part of Devon yet to have wondered if the Buzzards are keeping their infiltration at bay as there are plenty of Buzzards about.
I have a particular interest in the Red Kite through being in ways involved in it's re-introduction way back when I was a member of the YOC in primary school
But other news as has been reported in the Guardian over the last couple of days : A second wild Beaver has been spotted living and apparently thriving at Pensthorpe Nature Reserve in Norfolk, but as of yet the sexes of both are not known. Great shakes as the last time wild Beavers were reported living in Norfolk, was in the sixteenth century

No way! One of the early (and ongoing) attempts to encourage Red Kites was at Llangurig??? It was on the A44 by there.
Buzzards and kites were perfectly happy, flying and feeding together
Well, if you call going around in circles catching the thermals in formation, yes
It's a regular private air show!

If you whistle for them, repeated long and flat then dropping off, they'll gyre round and come to see what's making the noise
Not really news.
Just made my morning.
He’s beating the carp out of his reflection in my window two feet away.
Macho little bugger.

While getting the campervan ready for an imminent trip, I discovered that a gas strut that supports the rising roof had packed up. A chain of phone calls where helpful garages said, "We don't do it but I suggest you try.." resulted in a charming van converter who put in a special order for the required part, then delivered and fitted it at our home. Such a good feeling to know that there are efficient professionals willing to go the extra distance, literally, to be helpful.
