Carrion Crow (Corvus corone)Observer
cliygh-and-miaDescription
Walked right up to me on the grass. Seemingly used to people and bold, 2nd and 3rd photos show a leashed dog in the background and many other joggers/photographers walked by without startling it. The only time it flushed was when an unleashed dog was sprinting directly for it (And even then it simply flew atop a fence and began foraging inside the safety it provided). Banded, I did try to get some pictures of the banding but after I made the mental choice to is when the dog flushed it. Seemingly the first parts of the code are "J42," but again these are the only pictures I have to go off of. Perhaps sometime in the future I can go back and attempt to get clearer pictures of the band.

Red Kite (Milvus milvus)Observer
cliygh-and-miaDescription
Usually I attempt to separate observations per-individual photographed, but too many flying around at the same time for me to have distinguished specific individuals. Some appeared banded (In photos 7 & 11) but due to depth of field & situational low light + noise removal (Went from sunny to sleeting within seconds) unable to record specific numbers/letters.

Seemingly, a very large gull with a large bill and dark back. The legs also look quite pink, but was hard to verify due to evening light (Present in photos as well).
