Red Kites at Avoca
With winds from the east and clear skies I did a quick runaround of the various harbours in Wicklow looking for interesting gulls. There was very little around, so I decided to investigate the village of Avoca where Red Kites have a regular winter roost. My information was good, and I had a total of 7 birds in flight. A Buzzard joined them briefly.

The Red Kites were part of a reintroduction project, and many of them sport wing-tags...
