- In his later years Leonardo wrote about his first memory as a child in his cradle.
- He was daydreaming in 1505 and taking notes at the time about the flight pattern of birds and the fork-tailed red kite (milvus vulgaris) in particular.
Writing like this so particularly about the kite
seems to be my destiny, since the first memory of my
childhood is that it seemed to me, when I was in my
cradle, that a kite came to me, and opened my mouth
with its tail, and struck me several times with its
tail inside my lips. (Leonardo da Vinci)
