We parked at Longcross car park near Fritham this evening for a very pleasant 2 mile walk. We didn't see another soul on the circular route and it was very peaceful as the light began to fade. The birds were singing their little hearts out and at one point in the trees we saw a large bird which we now think may have been a red kite. The tail was the correct shape and it's colouring didn't seem to be that of any other bird of prey. I don't know if there are red kites are in the New Forest but that's what we believe it was. (I have just had a search online and it appears they are in the New Forest).
One of my favourite flowers, foxgloves, are just coming into bloom..
The greenish light was a little eerie in places.
Back at the car park, the first animals we saw, a dozen New Forest ponies.
No sign of a decent sun set tonight though.
