Black Kite-Haverfordwest on 26th.

Have just reviewed some images which I had assumed were of a distant Red Kite. About midday on the 26th,from my back garden,I saw what I thought was a Red Kite circling above the Uzmaston Road. I went in and brought out my camera since sometimes, Red Kite fly directly overhead.However, the Kite moved north behind a large fir tree and emerged much further off and higher up. I just fired off some shots to test the autofocus. When I eventually checked the very small images, I was surprised to see the bird was in fact a Black Kite. This fits in well with the 


warm anti-cyclonic weather. Moral: shoot first, use bins later!




Sorry about the image display, maybe because I am using Win 7.
