Joyous objects.
Apart from the high-performance versions I usually have a folding kite in my rucksack... but not in my pannier. It seems to go better with walking than with cycling.

The first time that I saw a kite in Oxfordshire was on the first trip on my Windcheetah!Stradageek wrote: ↑24 Jun 2022, 10:18am Loads in Northants, I recommend a recumbent bike for watching them swooping low over the roads

Red kites are primarily scavengers so if they're replacing other birds, presumably those displaced would be scavengers too.

They’re so common across Bucks and Northants, and the bits of Beds and Oxon that I get to that you can almost rely on seeing one somewhere in the sky if you’ve got a good field of view, and I wonder if they are displacing other birds.
