Migrating?

Migrating?

I've just seen 85 Black Kites flying due south over our Sai Kung house. Would these be migrating or winter visitors arriving?

What time of day?

Paul, about 5.30pm

Could they be heading to the roost in Sai Kung harbour?  It would certainly be an odd time of day for raptors to be migrating.

Possibly Paul but I have the same view each day and have not seen these sorts of numbers before. I saw 43 in a kettle recently but it's not a normal sighting.

I would imagine the unusual appearance is related to the windy conditions we have at the moment.

I too doubt they are on active migration.

P.S. Do you realise you two have exactly the same number of posts? Spooky or what?!?
