Looks like being the season for Red Kites, I saw one early this morning at Greylake and another in the afternoon at Westhay. At Westhay the resident male Marsh Hsrrier shadowed the Kite from a distant, yet as soon as a buzzard appeared the Harrier would aggressively drive it off. Not sure why the Marsh Harrier was more tolerant of the Kite.
Also, if I recall correctly we had a lot of Red Kites in Somerset around the time of the silage cutting last year, as it is now silage time hopefully lots more sightings to come of these superb birds.
Red Kite very low over Bishopswood on the Blackdowns this evening at 1840. Proceeding unhurriedly in a Westerly direction roughly towards Churchinford.
