UK – King Charles Gardener Says Plant Just One Flower To Make Robins Flock To Your Home.

Measuring a mere 12 to 14 centimetres in length, the beautiful European Robin for decades has been recognised as the national bird of the UK.

Although this classification has never been officially certified by the UK government, but is accepted by bird organisations, charities and the British public who have supported this call in many polls over the years.

England UK – Red Kite Update 6/12/25.

North West Kent , England. https://youtu.be/-ZOuYo-9afc

Well, just finishing off the large feeding post / table with the hope that Red Kites are soon going to make the gardens here a regular stop for food. Singles have been seen over the last few months with their very impressive 6 feet wingspan, and we may even think we have a breeding pair. Trying to encourage them as welcome visitors to ‘our patch’.

England – The Red Kite.

Kent, England. 16/11/25. ‘Normal’ Sunday morning – around 9 am – decided to sit in the kitchen and enjoy a cup of tea and a few biscuits. Glanced out the window to see the regular birds visiting the garden, when suddenly my eyes went over and upwards towards a neighbours patch.

What was I witnessing ? – the incredible ‘Red Kite’, to me, one of the most beautiful raptors ever. A wingspan of around 180cm, or approximately 6 feet.

My great neighbour and friend, Frank, had sent me a text earlier in the week to tell me that one had visited his garden. At that time I was unable to view. But today, here it was, circling round over my and a few other gardens. I had the impression from its actions that it was hunting for prey on an embankment at the end of the garden. A magnificent bird, and hopefully a regular to our patch – Regards Mark.
