This red kite flew over the house at the weekend. There are almost a dozen birds that glide over the village looking for things to eat in the gardens. #springwatch #allotment #allotmentuk #growyourownfood #growyourown #gardening #gardeningtips #gardeningideas #allotmentbook #gyo #vegplot #kitchengarden #allotments #gardenersworld #instagardeners
