Birds
Second spotting today confirms, what I was sure was a brief spot a fortnight ago, the kite has moved up to this area of the Lincolnshire Wolds. I've not seen a kite further north than Stamford before.
Drifting on the thermals low over the house for a quick confirming id from my
1976 Reader's Digest/AA Book of British birds. It states "Forked tail identifies this extremely rare bird of prey, 20 pairs nest in Wales, where they are present all year"
How times have changed!
The great tit's in the box now have 4 eggs. We may have a different pair though. I need to get a better view of the male, he didn't seem to have such a broad bib as the last male.
