10th July - cloudy, becoming brighter, sunny spells, humid at times, 20C, light S

Cotesbach Landfill/sandpit; early afternoon, rather quiet, 12 Red Kites.  No sign of the Shelduck family.

A5 Pools/DIRFT; Two Red Kites were hunting over the area, flushing the two Black-tailed Godwits which were trying to have a nap.  Very distant record photo possible, with heat haze being a big problem. 

Only a few Lesser-black backed Gulls, including an adult Yellow-legged Gull.
