Top Lodge

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

And they are off.....

The kite chicks that is. They have finally taken the plunge and are now no longer on the nest. over the last couple of weeks they had only been appearing at infrequent intervals. Usually just after the parents had dropped some food off at the nest. Mum and Dad have finally got bored of waiting hand and foot on the youngsters now, so the chicks will have to look after themselves, foraging for carrion in the surrounding fields. Who knows, you may just catch a glimpse of them circling over the centre.
