I keep seeing a red kite gliding high above, tried to take a picture few times but it just passes above and doesn't give me enough time to get my phone and take a picture. If I manage that will just be pure luck. When it flies a bit lower you can see just how magnificent and how big the wings on tha...

They came back after a day or two last time (not long ago) and today they are gone again. All the food is just sitting there and the garden looks empty...
