Gareth Jones, mammal expert and tag reader spotted a single tagged kite among a dozen or so hunting over freshly cut silage : PURPLE on the LEFT wing ! White on the right. T6 was the code. My out of date kite tag guide says this is Aberdeen's colour code.
Will post further details when I can get them.
Silaging provides good opportunities for tag reading as they fly slow and low over the fields. Gareth also reported the kites standing on the ground with wings partly spread as though sun-bathing. This is I think fairly unusual...anyone out there with any experience of this?
