Lee Mount - 3rd April

Swan species
Three flew high over the house >NW at  15:50 in bright sunlight, they looked fantastic. No call heard though I suspect they were Whoopers, but could not be sure. They were moving pretty quickly and I just managed to get the bins on them but still unsure of 100% identification. Someone else might have picked them out further north or north west. They were heading generally in the direction of Mixenden or Ogden maybe or they may have just gone straight through given the favourable conditions.

Earlier in a day a Red Kite passed over, even giving a call, which drew my attention to it around 10:50. It disappeared very quickly behind the houses looking as if heading maybe towards Beacon Hill ?
