Hooray
The red kite was extinct in England & Scotland. And reduced to just a couple of breeding pairs in Wales. But protection & the reintroduction of birds from Europe mean there doing all right. And driving back from Camberley along the M40 somewhere south of oxford I saw five, yup, five of these babies. And nearly rear ended a lorry. But what the hell. Five red kites. Gotta be pleased with that.

i've seen a few through mid-Wales, they are seriously beautiful birds. the Monica Belucci of the ornitholigal world.
they might be beautiful birds - but ask yourself this - can they weld to NVQ 2? thats right - no!!! are they still beautiful?
hmm. But just how useful is a dustpan to a bird of prey? (of course, if it came with a brush then its a whole different question).
Beautiful!
And man you're lucky!
Lovely pic!
Wow, that's a gorgeous picture!!
ok. Confession. Picture was acquired on the internet - not taken by me. Its dangerous and illegal to take pictures whilst driving at 70mph on a motorway.
But I am hoping to visit a kite feeding place in mid Wales next year so maybe I’ll get some pictures of my own
