What the Red Kites Jane?  It say's they are being spotted more and more in Suffolk and they do like Farmland, they were considered a threat to Cats and Dogs and hunted nearly to extinction?


Yes, HB. Red Kites and buzzards.........not to mention a herd of deer and a semi tame Muntjack!!!

Oh wow must be great Jane, i came accross Muntjack in Norfolk last year near Sandringham, didn't run off like normal deer when i approached on my bike and Dog walkers were close by.  I love to watch the Birds of Prey, the Kestrel hovering and the Buzzard circling........ it was in Windsor Park not Norfolk where i had one circling me on my Bike Jane, they have been known to attack Cyclists especially near to their nests etc, i had one swoop down in front of me onto a banking as the Claws reached out to grab something as it hit the deck.

I hope psittacosis is not on the increase.
