Local Red Kites...

There seems to have been quite a few red kites around the Chard area over the last couple of weeks, including a sizeable number noted in the same field as the white stork between Chard and Ilminster in mid-June. Dave Helliar has seen one or two local birds too, including this individual at the weekend near Tatworth.

Never tire of seeing these wonderful birds. Would be great if they started breeding locally again.
