Red Kite...
...catching the breeze at the top of the Larch. Her chicks fledged 2 or 3 weeks ago. They are virtually fully grown. I can only tell the juveniles from the adults because they have a higher pitched, mournful whistle, and their legs dangle down instead of being neatly tucked away. I have seen her coaching them to pick up bits of food from the ground so hopefully they are beocming self-sufficient and she can have a well-earned rest.
