Today I am showing you fences I saw when I was out with
my North Down and Ards U3A bird group around Dundrum Bay, County Down, Northern
Ireland. We saw quite a number of waders
in this area and then made out way to Castlewellan to see if we could see the
Red Kites.
Some of the members of my class with the back drop of
the Mountains of Mournes.
We scarred the skies around this area and saw a Buzzard
and we thought we saw 2 Red kites in the very far distance but we could not be
deffinate. We were just about to leave
when out of the blue a Red Kite fly right in front of us and all of us had very
good views of it. I only managed 1 shot.
You can access the video at

I hope you enjoyed coming along with us. Tomorrow I will show you reflections I found in this area.
