I saw one in a field near Kirkton of Skene yesterday. Since Im not familiar with them I had taken note of the colours/shape/characteristics and was suprised when I got home to see it absolutely had to be a red kite (esp with that forked tail!) I didnt think they were up this far, very exciting. _________________ Happiness is a Haflinger!
