Mar 29: There was a Red Kite over Cinnamon Lane between 2.30 - 3.00pm - perhaps the same bird? It also was flying in a North- Easterly direction.
I have seen Kites on at least half a dozen occasions in the last year over the lane - a sign of their increasing numbers in our area perhaps.

Red kite east of A37 just north of Shepton Mallet 14:00 Sat 29th March. I've seen red kites in Wales and Buckinghamshire but was surprised to spot one near Shepton. Interested to see from posts on this site that there were severals other sightings on Saturday.
