    Our Kites look well Lovely images, Paul. May save one for the Newsletter. Interesting one of the kite with what looks to be a ball-like object in its talons. Why might it be picking up something at this time of the year? Here is the Wing Tag chart showing that our chicks will carry...

    Last Days Of 2014 One of our keen birdwatchers and photographers, Iain Clyne, sent in these two images recently. Our kites appear to be gathering in not one, but two places to roost. They often seem to take time before deciding on their permanent site.

    Roosting Red Kites To be honest, Damian, the weather was so miserable, cold and wet, that I hoped you hadn't made the difficult journey. Wait until the spring when the breeding season begins and we'll endeavour to help you get to the Valley. Unless you've already seen it do pick up this link...

    Roost Watch images Although I had taken my camera thinking I might have even managed a short video, the weather and light suggested it would prove difficult. James clearly enjoyed his trip so if he has any reasonable pics, I'm sure he will send them in.

    Late Osprey, Angus, Scotland 8/11/14

    Late osprey Not serious, but maybe this is Beatrice, who migrates just to the south of Spain where she settles in her favourite area for the entire winter. I wish more of our ospreys would do this instead of risking the dangers of Africa.
