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.
