From Peter Royle:
As I drove towards Screwfix at Merlin’s Bridge on Sunday afternoon, I spotted a Red Kite circling overhead and then, as I drove into the Screwfix car park, the Kite swooped down to collect something from the ground in front of the shop entrance, much to the surprise of an exiting customer.
After circling for a couple of minutes the Kite was set upon by two crows and after a short period of aerial combat in and out of the trees the Kite flew off with what looked like a number of sticks in its talons – a trophy from the Crows’ nest? Perhaps it had nesting thoughts of its own?
