A Red-footed Falcon at Wilstone. A Herts mega! One of my favourite birds and an adult male to boot. Was perched in a tree when I arrived late afternoon, but later flew around with two Hobbys which made for an excellent comparison (though none was really needed.) Beautiful silvery primaries contrasting with the slate grey and red. A wonderful sight.
Two Red Kites was seen nearby on arriving and leaving (may have been the same bird) as well as a Buzzard when I left. About thirty Common Terns were on the reservoir.
