Thursday 10th May (Too Hot for Mr. Kite and the Birds)


Mr. Kite looked out of The Joint window into a dawn morning. A scop's owl was sounding off like a faulty car alarm.

A few hours later Mr. Kite was cycling in the Monfrague park. Vultures circled overhead and eagle glided over the hot ground.

To cut a long story short Mr. Kite was searching for warblers and in the heat failed to really identify any. Lots of woodchat shrikes ate the swarms of insects that were enjoying their last hot day on earth.

Mr. Kite watched a Bonelli's eagles nest where what looked like a chick stir but the heat beat everyone.

So in the late afternoon Mr. Kite enjoyed a tipple of Leffe Ruby. Cheers
