Red Kite over Pagham Harbour.

At last....a superb morning, bright and sunny albeit with a chill west wind.
 Little about on the Spit save a few Linnets and a Chiffchaff but suddenly my attention was drawn to a raptor approaching from the south and heading for the middle of the harbour. Very quickly a pair of Shelducks took exception and mobbed the bird mercilessly!
Quickly identified as a Red Kite with the diagnostic forked tail showing well even at a distance...a few quick shots and it was soon gone heading northwards...a fantastic bird!

That made my morning!
