What's flying near you?

A red kite swooped overhead at roof level then went on to soar on the thermals. A regular sight and sound over the past few week were a pair of kestrels who nested in a tall fir about 3 doors away. The pair are very vocal on approaching the nest as is the baby (ies). This last week I've seen their single baby being taken by the parents on practice flights over our garden and into fields, all very vocal still. I think we are on the last leg of baby training as they aren't so frequent now.
