| Red Kite, Milvus milvus |
On Tuesday afternoon Dougal arrived from the borderland. It
was good to see him after so many years. He was responsible for the security
dogs in Aramcoland and Shadow the Golden Retriever loved to see him when he
visited our house. He has a way with animals and shares my love of
wildlife, otters being his special passion. On Wednesday after noon I took him
to Warningcamp and Arundel WWT. At Warningcamp the Border Birder spotted a Red
Kite wheeling above us, a Yellow Hammer, a Wren, A Green Woodpecker and then the Glossy Ibis. We
shared the sighting with a birder from Eastbourne who had travelled on a
three-wheeled scooter to see it – he said it made his day!
