Red Kites

We are just back from a relaxing lunch at Glyndwr Plants & Coffee Shop, just outside Corwen.  As I got out of the car I saw a pair of kites, right over Bron-y-Graig.  This is tremendously exciting as I have never seen them here before - they look huge.   I remember the buzzards arriving several years ago; now we have kites!  They are splendid.

Wagtail update - they all flew the nest successfully and the yard is disappointingly quiet.  I suppose they are all in the surrounding woodland somewhere.  One of them got stuck under the kitchen drain cover and spent two hours calling for help.  I know you shouldn't interfere but it was exhausted.  Eventually I carried it over to the cobblestones right under the nest and within 10 minutes an adult had arrived to shepherd it to safety.  Mungo slept through the whole episode.

  1. We saw a kite circling very low near my daughter's house near Oxford. It seems more fitting up by you in North Wales somehow.
