red kite? 22/09/12
(Preview)
Whilst travelling back on the bus from Todmorden today I saw a large raptor flying towards Todmorden near Clough Foot at about 18:20hrs. Just outside our area I know, but the bird would probably have come over Reaps Moss. Most likely a red kite but couldn't be certain. cheers Kevin
