Red kite rising
Into sunlight.

What a distinctive, human-whistle-like call it has! Beautiful hokku, Clive, and the art and recording from your blog post are really nice. Thanks for this addition to the Garden.

Wonderful hokku by Clive! Red Kites are special birds for me as here in NI they were hunted to extinction in the 1800s. However, about a dozen years ago they were re-introduced (birds born in Wales) to the south east of the province and slowly they are making a return.

Glad to hear that they are back in N.I. Let’s hope all others appreciate them, too!

It really is an uplifting hokku. The incredible moments can easily be visualised (and heard) in each line. Such fabulous birds and the recording was extraordinary.
