Day spent in the garden working on two jobs. Filled some low spots on the lawn and levelled around the bird feeder base. Also spread grass seed to finish the job.
This afternoon started preparations to clad the bottom part of what is now the alpine house. Not easy fixing cladding to an aluminium greenhouse.
The red kite, the one bird that has eluded me for years despite all manner of tricks to get that photograph in the garden finally did me proud late this afternoon. At 4.30pm, just packing up for the day and I was aware of two kites that looked like were fighting. After some minutes of this one landed on the Lelandii tree and stayed there for twenty minutes screeching and ruffling feathers. The other kite was in another tree out of sight but was also screeching. Was this a mating ritual I wonder. In any even it gave me a wonderful photographic opportunity.
