Brilliant O:V

I had a red kite just above our roof today... but in contrast to you, Flutts, I didn't have the wits to get my cam / phone out to take a proof shot. 0*\

Love the black redstarts! I only got the common variety cruising the neighbourhood. In spring the male kept singing from the top of his head (but on a Roof too far off for a pic). He's become a bit quieter now and certainly less regular. :O^
