All the birds were following my on my walk this morning. A pair of Robins hopped along with me for about 1/2 mile, then blue tits, song thrush, black birds and finally this Kettle of Red Kites perched in a tree.
I live in the Chiltern Hills and I have often seen 20+ in the sky at once, but I think this is the most I have seen in a tree at once. The were two more, but they flew off as I got the camera out.
Had no idea a collective noun for kites is a kettle or that they gather together in trees!
