22 May 2008 - After the disappointment of discovering our regular kites had decided to up sticks and move to a new nest, today was the first day of watching a brand new nestwatch family.

The youngest of the three chicks of the new nestwatch family was hatched on Sunday 18th May.

The 23rd May saw the female shielding her chicks for much of the morning, due to rain showers, which fortunately soon stopped, giving mum a chance to leave the nest and stretch her wings.
