RED KITE MILVUS MILVUS - North Norfolk.. by Adam Swaine Via Flickr: The red kite is a scavenger bird that was once very rare across the UK and even became extinct in Scotland in the 19th century. Red kites have several characteristics that make them easy to identify. These large birds of prey have a rusty brown body with grey and silver markings on their head. They have long angular wings in the same colour as their body but with darker markings at the tips. When fully extended in flight their wingspan can reach up to a massive 5-6ft depending on the size of the bird. Wings appear to bend backwards in flight and their long tail becomes forked, giving it a triangular appearance.

16th May 2023-Lakeside and home 

Pictures taken in this set are of: 1. Pretty flowers I believe blue flax in the flower bed area on the way to Lakeside at lunch time. 2 and 6. Beautiful views at Lakeside at lunch time and this evening on lovely walks. 3. A stunning Whitethroat which sang stupendously atop a greening alder by the lake seen from the northern path. I’m having probably my best spring for them here having seen them many times, still a pretty notable bird for here for me and it was nice to get a record shot of one to mark this. 4. Cattle at Lakeside tonight. 5. Moorhen at Lakeside. 7. Mallard ducklings which I enjoyed lovely intimate views of tonight. 8. Tree out the back. 9. The shining buddleia bush looking nice out the front. 10. A nice flower at Lakeside at lunch time I believe spotted medick.

I was gripped to see a pair of Red Kites in the air on the way to Lakeside in the area out the front which was quite notable and from Lakeside along the northern path later on in my lunch time walk, glorious raptors to see in a mostly blue sky these were such precious views. A nice view of a Jay at lunch time and the Great Crested Grebes tonight were other of my favourite birds seen well today and I enjoyed watching a Kestrel that appeared to have prey in its talons tonight. Swift, Black-headed Gull, Herring Gull possibly mobbing the Red Kites, Jackdaws seen well, Wren and Robin were other Lakeside bird highlights with great views of Holly Blue, Small Heath, Speckled Wood and Green-veined White again in the way of butterflies. It was a delight to see some Bishop’s Mitre shieldbugs mating in the grass of the eastern meadow not something I’d seen before as well as little beetle and micro moths. Buttercups, oxeye daisy, vetch, mouse-ear chickweed, cuckooflower hanging on, yellow iris, sorrel, red deadnettle, cow parsley, and my first wood avens at Lakeside this year and first dog rose of the year were other flower highlights with poppy, forget-me-not and cornflower seen well at the flower bed on the way. I saw Woodpigeon, Collared Dove, Goldfinch and House Sparrow well from home again.

A Spot Of Kite-Flying In Bishops Castle

Now that we’ve moved our dining table to its winter position – i.e. from the conservatory at the back of the house to the front sitting room window – we can eat breakfast while watching a red kite scanning the town. It comes most days, drifting over the High Street, circling high above nearby gardens.  With a wing span of around six feet (180 cm) it is one of Britain’s largest birds of prey (i.e.…

If the Lazarus pit can restore lost limbs and bones and shit, would that mean it also restores wisdom teeth?

What I’m saying is, assuming Jason had his wisdom teeth out early (like I did), he’d have to get them out AGAIN before enacting his 5D chess revenge plan on Batman

Record Number of Red kites spotted in Kings Langley

Once a very rare bird, thanks to successful reintroduction projects these wonderful birds can now be seen in lots of places in the UK.

The revamped NatureHertsUK channel on Yotube caught the new record number last weekend and again today. Seen on 29th May. For the past 30 years, the…

Studies of a beautiful red kite released yesterday on the nature reserve having recovered from being found grounded on a grouse moor a few weeks ago, full of shot pellets and with a broken wing.

Amazing work by the vets, wildlife rehabilitator and all involved! Back in the skies once more <3
