On Friday 18th June, Patsy and me found a Black Kite on the west side of the moor at Porthgwarra at 09.58. It seemed to come in off the sea and headed towards Nanjizal, being mobbed by a local Peregrine. It flew about 100 ft above us and moved steadily north east. I managed to get a few record shots. Its the second bird we have seen this Spring and was a different bird to the earlier one. This one was aged as a probable 3 cal year bird. It was obviously in serious feather moult and might also have been shot at as the feather condition was poor.
