Ha. The fish was on a wet ride?
I had stopped in a gateway take in the view and was admiring the buzzards hunting in the fields bellow. There seem to be far more then usual. Something to do with the high water table, dead worms etc I'm told.
Whilst there a Kite drifts upwards from behind the hedge on wind/thermals alone, soars above me whilst I worked out what it was. I think they're still quite rare so I'm happy to see it. It circled for a minute before coming in very low (down to eye-level!) in a sort of inter-species staring-contest. It passed within 3m but neither of us got our talons out.
It's a jungle out there.
