Monday 26th December (Boxing Day Birding)

Mr. Kite looked out of The London Residence window to see hundreds of small round baubles on the London plane trees silouetted against the grey sky. This year Mr. Kite has not stopped marveling at the splendid colours, decorations and shapes of the trees.

In the morning Mr. Kite walked around the streets of Hampstead looking at the colourful display of berries and different shaped foliage in many shades of green. In one garden a variety of chery tree was showing its pink blossom. Once a gain the birds were scarce but did include great tit and long-tailed tit; a green woodpecker was heard but could not be seen.

So following a gentle stroll Mr. Kite had a tipple of Fullers London Pride. Cheers.
