just turnig the car round from getting home from the shop when in the distance could see a big bird being mocked by a gull or two, got my bins out and could'nt believe it :smile: a red kite, the first one iv ever seen since moving to this house four years ago,no time to get the camara but hope to go out to see if i can get some pics tomorrow or later today, i live on the norfolk/suffolk border can anyone tell me if this is normal to see them round here. i used to live in mid wales where you could see them allday long, hope to get some pics very soon

Nice one! Yes, they're colonising East Anglia now from one of the re-introduction schemes.

PS welcome to the forums!
