and continuing the theme… Red Kite over Hook Bridge, Curry Moor this evening (14/05). Judging by the missing wing feathers, it might have been the same one seen over Thurlbear Wood (11/05)

Single bird being mobbed by crows over Butleigh STW this lunchtime. Didn’t seem to want to move away.

I wonder if the one over Thurlbear was the same one I saw on the 8th. It was certainly heading in that direction. Is it known if we have any resident in the area?

Belated report of a single Red Kite flying low over Westonzoyland at 14:00 on 07 May, heading NE during the heat of the day. Possibly the same bird reported by Julian Thomas at Meare Heath at 14:15.
Plenty of Swifts also using the village airspace over the bank holiday weekend, with up to 20 on 07 May.
