First Swallow

Saw my first swallow of the year today at Wrotham Heath. Also heard and glimpsed a nightingale at Leybourne Lakes. It was not singing its full song but was undoubtedly the notes of a nightingale. There were also whitethroats present, the first seen this year.
Yesterday a red kite hung over the field in front of the house. Riding the up-currents it flew backwards and forwards giving superb vews of this distinctive bird. The first viewing of this species from the house.
