Observation details
The kite was rising to circle over the grassy fields and hedgerows, at one point coming right over my car-- at that time carrying a small prey item. The bird was completely unmarked on breast, wings and tail. Its head was pale, the wing tips were darker than the breast, and the flared tail was even darker. A second bird with a similar silhouette missing a couple of flight feathers was circling much higher above me; I never saw it clearly so am only reporting one kite. By the time I reached for my camera, both were too distant for good photos.
