WHITE HORSE HILL

Being another hot day, I decided to find somewhere  where there would be a breeze as I walked so opted  to visit White Horse Hill near Uffington. I was  bit disappointed not to see many birds; i.e.  no wheatears or whinchats  just a few flocks of goldfinches, a chaffinch and a yellowhammer,  However I did find this red kite perched on a fence post.
