Although I know very little about this subject, I always like reading about wildlife and see pictures. I wonder if it is worthwhile having a section for Wildlife where we can post comments about interesting or unusual happenings. Afterall, dogs do all right on here so I think Birds and vermin should have a chance.
What I would have said if there had been a section is that the Red Kite, common really only over the Chilterns is now a common sight over Aylesbury. Never seen a Red Kite over Aylesbury in the last 25 years. Plus there seems to be loads more pairs swirling around twixt Aylesbury and High Wycombe.
We used to go to a CS at Stokenchurch just to see the Red Kites shortly after they were introduced into that area so I am not surprised they have reached Aylesbury. Wonderful to watch them.

Yes, we would enjoy that as well. We have many different species in the garden, includig moorhens who queue up on the front doorstep to be fed in the mornings.

We live near Harwood where they were introduced a few years ago, now we see them nearly everyday. My son once counted thirteen together above the farm were he works. They are truly a magnificent sight

Just arrived home to see a red kite above my house. It was having a right old set to with a crow. I think the crow did not like the kite in his air space,they are very territorial.

I've got to get glasses. I thought you wrote a set to with a cow. That I would really love to see. (Whose a greedy hawk then )
I shall have to ask Nukes to see if he minds a yet another forum topic to add.
Just though maybe Nature Watch would be better as that would include trees and stuff.
Not sure we got any of those here in Kent .....BUT......
we have had 3 pure white albino squirrels in our garden over the years
and and .....
We do have sparrow hawks
They pluck the poor old ring neck pigeons out of the air and then proceed to strip them in my garden
yes I know, nobody likes pigeons but still it is a bit barbaric to eat your own species, why cant they get that great big fat rat I'm sure I keep seeing
