  1. Your White Kite look a bit dark Allan, could be the light ..... If you look at your pic's the White Kite is No 51 with Black left Tag & Orange right meaning it's Welsh & raised in 2005. First time I've heard of Herons coming in, something else to snap when I go myself later this year. Some of the Buzzards appear to be Juvenile's too. Sure you had a "card filling" day lol.

    1. Great day out, though the light for most of the time was not good. The "white" kite wasn't totally white, quite dark on its back and wings.
