adbirdy 14 Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Hi All, Just wondered if any other residents of Staffordshire have seen a Red Kite. I know they are not rare in some parts, but I saw my first in this county on Saturday near to the National Memorial Arboretum at Alrewas. Before anyone says I do know the difference between a buzzard and a kite!! Look forward to hearing about any other sightings Ade Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OldTrapCollector 376 Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 I was watching a pair of them hunting today in the rain, looking a bit bedraggled, but I am a good bit south and west of you OTC Quote Link to post Share on other sites
