Black-winged Kite

Linda and I being at a loose end (and the weather being bright and clear for a change) we drove to Hickling, being among the first cars in the carpark. The 40-minute slog along the muddy paths proved worthwhile in the end: although it had apparently been nearer earlier, we still enjoyed prolonged views of the long-staying Black-winged Kite, as it digested its breakfast vole! Other birds included distant Cranes, several Yellowhammers, a Great White Egret and all the usual large raptors.
