Red Kite Information
These are fab birds to watch, been up Scotland for a week and we had a lot of these flying round every day, they were actually extinct in the Uk and have been re-introduced and are breeding well and the numbers growing at a good rate.
I've plenty of pics but here are some of my favourite ones, but please remember these are taken hand held with a 500mm lens and they don't fly very close too you
One pic shows them playing/fighting, not sure which but they seem to do a lot of it - sorry its not a very good picture but these two were too far away, another one you can see a hole in the birds wing, this one we see almost every day and the hole didn't seem to bother it at all, one of the best though I think is the one were it's upside down, I haven't altered it, thats what they do in the air when playing/fighting, happens so quick though, just glad I caught it on camera.
