I had a lovely run this morning. I went out on a variation of my easy five miler, along the country roads around our village. About a mile in I saw a lovely red kite flying over a field next to the road, it was quite low, lower than the tree tops so you could clearly see its rusty coloured plumage rather than the usual forked tail silhouette.
Carrying on through the lanes and round the corner a bit, a pair of red kites flew out of a tree I was running under, one swooping across the top of the roadside hedge, they really are huge birds. Looking up I saw them, one, two, three, four... they kept coming, and culminating in a flock of eight fully grown red kites, all in the same area, presumably a good food source was nearby to support so many hunters,
To top the run off, a minute or so later a buzzard and a kestrel also made an appearance.
Clearly not a good day for mice.
