Black Kite at Dowrog Common

 Sunday afternoon.  The bird was sitting on a wooden post or rail across a small field by the Fishguard road side cattle grid, apparently feeding on something, I only had my Bins so I wasn't sure what it was, when I got to the grid I looked over the hedge and the bird took off, obviously a Kite, but with no grey head and no rufous colouring, as it then turned and flew overhead the almost square tail made it clear what we were seeing. Not seen one before, so a bit of excitment too! It flew higher and drifted off to the west accompanied by a couple of Jackdaws.
