Red Kite sighting

[nepia]

Matt, if you ever come up to the Thames corridor try to take a drive along the M40 between High Wycombe and Oxford. I do the trip regularly and have seen groups of seven kites and counted forty individual birds.

...and that's just where I see most birds; at Watlington just out of the M40 cutting where The Ridgeway does a 90 degree turn.
