BLACK EARED KITE

Holbeach St Mathews Lincolnshire
At last caught this one back up on the County listers, we arrived at 8.15am, Kite already on view sat against the sun though on a hedge, nearly two hours later it flew and was then in almost constant view till we left at 1.00pm, though always distant i managed these rather long range shots which have been greatly cropped.
Watched flying over a copse with two Common Buzzards then out over the Salt marsh were it was attacked by two Common Kestrels.
Also out on the marsh several Little Egrets a Hen Harrier and a Peregrine.
