An exciting morning at Doddington on Thursday 4th July. Driving slowly on the estate I flushed a red kite and three ravens together on the ground in the small grass field between Lemon Pool and the wood by the hall. I parked out of the way and waited and the red kite and one of the ravens re-appeared having an aerial battle including a brief session of talon grappling. They then moved out of sight over the wood. I got another brief view of the kite ten minutes later.
Also seen; on the puddle were oystercatcher 4 (2 adults with 2 fledged juvs), and lapwing 6 with 2 probable juvs. On the main pool 11 little grebe, 7 ads and 4 juvs of 2 broods and finally 89 mute swans
