Friday 5th August (Blue Sky)


Mr. Kite looked out of his bedroom window. The sun was shining and the skies were blue. Now the question is still about Swifts; are they still here? Mr. Kite scoured the sky and did not see any.

Following a lazy morning Mr. Kite had a lazy afternoon. During this lazy period Mr. Kite sat in the garden and looked into the blue sunny sky. A Common Buzzard appeared directly above Mr. Kite with two Swifts circling around it. The Buzzard was light underneath and with wings outstretched it soared in circles and then folded in it's wings and turned into a black blob that then dived in a steep angle towards the earth. After three seconds of a head first dive the Buzzard opened it's wings, slowed down and then soared upwards to repeat this manoeuvre four times. Eventually the bird soared high into the clear blue sky and glided in a high speed shallow dive over the roof and out of sight.

Mr. Kite considers himself fortunate that Common Buzzards are a regular sight over his garden. A flying, soaring, diving Buzzard is something for the bird-watcher. To watch the Common Buzzard performing in the air is spectacular. To celebrate his bird-watching experience Mr. Kite had a tipple of Shepherd Neame Master Brew Kentish Ale. Cheers.
