RED KITE IN THE MORNING

Last week at Samphire Hoe,the action was mostly at sea with gannets feeding off shore along with red throated divers,great cested grebes, and a lingering shag.The bluethroat showed up after lunch in the bramble patches near the car park.
 Sunday morning on the cliffs brought a few yellowhammers and corn buntings and a red kite floated by on the breeze,the assumed male raven is still working hard providing food for the family.kittiwakes are back on the nest sites and continue the easterly movement towards St Margarets and beyond.

We tried to attract the attention of two fellahs looking for peregrines as the kite floated behind them,but to no avail.
