Sparrowhawk, Garden Warbler, Red Kite

Had a bit of an explore around the local area surrounding our Montgomery digs before the wedding this morning.  A Sparrowhawk was perched high above Montgomery Castle, and a Garden Warbler sang and showed itself nearby.  I drove to a local nature reserve but it was rather cloudy at this point and there wasn't much to see or hear.  On the way back I came across a Red Kite perched in a tree not far from the roadside, so I parked up and managed to get a few shots before it flew off.
