Posted on 6 Mar, 2008 3 comments
To-day while working in the garden I witnessed a wonderful display of aerobatics was it the Red Arrows no Red Kites.I felt like they were putting on a display only for me ,it was a wonderful sight up they soared swooping and swaying they were showing who rules the skys around here .It was over to soon of they fly to where they came from but I hope they will be back tomorrow .It pays to look up now and again you never know what you might see.

Wonderful! We get Buzzards here, almost always in pairs but last week I saw three together. They make a kind of 'mewing' sound and wheel about in the sky, gliding mostly..

They are such handsome birds and remarkable to watch. Oddly enough my partner has just come back from filming them with his new camcorder.
I had never seem one in the wild before they were reintroduced locally back in 1989. The reintroduction has been so successful that they are now one of the most frequently seem birds hereabouts (the Chiltern Hills between Stokenchurch and Wendover). On one occasion we counted 16 in the air at the same time. We have a favourite stile on our dog walking route where we pause to look across the valley behind the Horse Trust at Speen and watch the red kites. We are rarely disappointed.
