A bit of a Raptor Day

Having just popped out at lunchtime to buy some stamps at Covingham Post Office, I wished I'd taken my camera. As I headed back to the car a Red Kite was being mobbed by two Carrion Crows. It dropped like a stone to avoid being being attacked and at one stage was below the roof tops. Eventually it gained height and headed east.

When I got home there was a commotion outside and at a great height there was a Buzzard heading south being mobbed by gulls.
