Red Kites

Red Kites are generally scarcer in the South of the county than in the North. At my house in St Florence, near Tenby I see maybe one or two birds a year. The grass in the field behind the house was cut a couple of days ago and this afternoon farmer was out baling it up. As if by magic 3 Red Kites appeared and quartered the field for over an hour in company with 6 Buzzards. A couple of the Kites were seen with prey - small rodents which had lost their cover in the long grass. A nice back yard avian treat.
