A red kite put on a fantastic display at Junior#2's football match this morning.
It was buzzing a small copse of trees next to the pitch, and all the birds in the area seemed to appear out of no-where to chase it off.
It was doing loop-the-loops, and swoops to inches of the ground, full wing-and-forkytail profiles both front and back, in the area of groung next to the pitch. It was about 10 feet away from the pitch, on the far side from the spectators. This went on for 20 minutes, and resulted in most parents missing one of the goals!
It's the closest experience I've had with Kites.
Sadly, no photos.
