Spring brings rare French scavenger to Gloucestershire's skies

News from the RSPB site

Visitors to the RSPB's Raptors on the Rock project at Symonds Yat in Gloucestershire have been treated to a day's bird of prey watching unprecedented in the UK.

Have been to Symonds Yat - very like the area of gorges on the Clyde near Lanark, and supporting the same wildlife and BOPs.

I wonder if the Black Kite will stay in that area this summer, or if it will return to France?

Is that too far away for a day trip from Reading, Rolf?

Must check if the bird stays there....

No, only a couple of hours or so Catherine, may well try and get over there later in the year.:)

It's maybe only there to tease you though. I mean, you go to France, so it comes here! When you return, it will probably do so too!:rolleyes:

Hope not though!;)

Worth a visit there in any event Catherine, I've never seen a Kite in France anyway, so not missed it.:)
