Driving back from GAP this morning, we saw three red kites together, circling over the Ring Road at Moortown betwixt Sainsburys and the water tower. We also spotted a solo red kite near Red Hall.They are a magnificent sight, but a nightmare to photograph.

I'm reminded that I haven't seen either of the 'East Leeds' Red Kites for a good few weeks now - have I just been unlucky or has something darker happened?They were a semi-regular sight and it would be horrible to thing they succumbed to anything nefarious.

End of the breeding season so they tend to gravitate back toward their place of birth (the adults that is) so they could well be moving back toward Harewood.Thats why in winter there are so many flying around between Weardley/Arthithingon/Eccup/Harewood.

Hiya raveydavey. Passing by on a bus today on the Wetherby Road in the Coal Road area around 12:15ish there were several Red Kites flying around providing a lovely sight. Some looked particularly large. They were the first in any number that I've seen for a while now.

Three at the weekend over NE Leeds, between Coal Road and York Road again, one smaller - maybe this year's youngster? Regular visitors.
