I’ve sen red kites in the Chilterns before but today, when we were out walking around Henley, we saw four different groups of kites. The first group were actually on the outskirts of the town, hovering over suburban gardens. Then, as we walked further into the country we came across more groups, circling over trees and hovering over fields. G spotted this one, on the top of a tree in a churchyard, just watching.
It’s the first time I’ve had the chance to have a close look at a red kite, not flying around. If only I’d had some binoculars with me.
