Top Lodge

Deep in Rockingham Forest, where red kites fly and wildflowers bloom... 

I am not a number!

I'm a free...... kite?

 Our three red kite chicks are now sporting their very fetching wing tags. These light plastic tags clip over the kites' wings and allow them to be identified from a distance. Reports of their movements will help us understand the kites  and how they live their lives better. So if in years to come you see a kite with a white tag on both wings and the numbers 78, 79 or 80, give them a cheery wave!

In other news, this weekend is set to be a big event for us. We are holding our Summer Solstice Fair, with live music, sword dancers, juggler, craft fair, bar and lots of other activities. Do come along and pay us a visit!
