I looked in on the Lapwing chicks at Holborough on the 29th,and was pleased to see all four.A Cuckoo was seen and 2 Cetti`s Warblers and 1 Nightingale heard.The Nightingale was in scrub at the northern end of the marsh.This past week or more,good numbers of Red Kites have been reported in Kent.I photographed this bird passing over Snodland on the 30th.
