Linda and I opened the church this morning: lots of little 'tweets' in the churchyard, including the Great Spotted Woodpecker. Star birds, though, were the Marsh Harrier and the pair of Red Kites that were feeding on a dead rat close to the road. I don't think I've ever seen a Marsh Harrier on the ground near the church before: very striking bird. Funny to think how just a few years ago views of Red Kite like these could only be obtained after a seven hour drive to mid-Wales!
