Sunny day

An absolute beauty here in Norfolk today, total blue sky from dawn to dusk and verging on being hot when sheltered from the light breeze. Considering we were busy in the garden rather than actually birding it wasn't a bad day. The Siskins and Brambling are still coming to the garden and at least 5 Common Buzzard were in the area, including Bianca the pale phase female. A nice adult Peregrine powered straight over the garden mid-morning, too low and fast to grab the camera. A Brimstone was my first lep for the year. Best was saved til last though as a cracking 2nd c/y Red Kite passed low over the hill at 1500 moving NW.
