Red kites

Last week I drove to Oxford for a project meeting and on the way I passed three red kites circling a dead badger on the road.  The red kite was re-introduced the Chilterns and are now spreading further afield.  I have now seen them on the outskirts of Swindon and hopefully we’ll see them scavenging over Bristol.  The red kite has a very distinctive tail and their graceful, often low level flight pattern makes them a wonderful addition to our landscape.
