Red Kite

[littleowl]

One of my favourite birds the Red Kite. Comes into England in the summer from Africa to breed.
The numbers dropped due to persecution on there migratory routes. A breeding program was set up now they can be seen again. Some birds bred in this country decided to over winter so I was able to take these a couple of weeks ago.

Beautiful bird, lovely photographs.

Just to add that I showed these to my grandson tonight and he loved them. It's one of the birds on our 'to see' list.
