Airfields are not a great place for birds, but Old Warden seemed to attract quite a few of them. Maybe the vintage planes are less of a threat to them – a collision would still hurt but maybe they figure they can get out of the way without too much difficulty. A few of the birds seemed to be getting very close to the display line but one red kite seemed more intent on coming over the crowd line. Maybe it was anticipating something left over from the food everyone had or maybe a small child was considered fair game! Either way, it did distract me a bit during some of the flying. I know the resurgence of the species causes concern for some people, but I am just fascinated by how elegant they are.
