Red Kite just come through. Saw many birds put up just to the right of Leeshaw - 15 Curlew, 20 Golden Plover and circa 80 Lapwings - scanning with bins produced the Red Kite (no wing tags observed) which slowly made its way over Marsh North towards the Worth Valley and possibly the Aire Valley. Circa 45 Fieldfares also observed.
 
Cheers
