Somewhat quiet afternoon, highlights were:

2 Spotted Flycatchers
1 GS Woodpecker
At least 6 Goldcrest
1 Common Sandpiper
1 Green Sandpiper
7 Snipe
M/F Bullfinch
1 Male Marsh Harrier and 1 poss' 2 Juv
Plenty of Buzzards about


We thought the bird of the day was going to be a Hobby until 2 mins later;
a Red Kite breezed in showing well for 10 - 15mins.
Seen from the Duck Hide over Waders Hide, it then drifted back to Greetwell then right towards Kirton-in-Lindsey, lost sight of it when it looked to drop down in a field.
The bird was in mint condition with no tags and gave me the best views of a Red Kite I 've had in North Lincolnshire.
