A Red Kite at the Holkham estate.
After hours of watching them and some marsh harriers from the other side of the reserve we got back to the car to head home. I put my camera bag down, luckily my camera wasn’t in it as I turned around and saw it flying low.
Lovely treat to see a red kite gliding over the garden at lunchtime today. They are still quite scarce around these parts, but we are seeing them a little more than we did a few years ago. Stunningly beautiful birds. #Birds #BirdsOfMastodon #RedKite #Brighton
The area around #Leudelange where I run is characterized by forests, bushes, and cultivated landscapes. Only extensive agriculture. #Luxembourg is doing a lot of things right here. Especially now in spring, you see birds of prey on almost every run. Today, a #redKite flew close over me. Majestic! Then there was a #buzzard, which was chased away by a #crow. Pretty brave, considering it was a bit smaller.

"Why we're releasing more Red Kites in 2025 | VLOG" [6:25 min]

"Mar 27, 2025
In this vlog, Flora talks about the work being done to tackle illegal poisonings and boost the survival chances of released Red kites, with the goal of creating a stable population in the Iberian peninsula."
ABOUT THIS PROJECT
The red kite (Milvus milvus), an iconic, graceful raptor has had a turbulent relationship with people over the centuries, from once being praised to almost going extinct in the UK. Translocated Spanish red kites saved UK populations last century but now their Spanish cousins are in severe trouble. This project is reinforcing the southernmost populations through reintroducing 120-130 red kites from the UK to Extremadura in Spain, over a 4-year period.

Ah came hame again! 
I had a Red Kite encounter to end them all!!!! #Birds #BirdPhotogaphy #RedKite #AngusGlens Photos to follow asap
A pair of Red Kite hunting over The Wash. They were causing the Red Knot to keep taking flight in large numbers to avoid them.
The Red Kite (Milvus milvus) grows up to 72 cm tall and has a wingspan of up to 180 cm. Its diet includes mice, birds and carrion. The bird is easy to spot in cultivated landscapes.
Rotmilan Der Rotmilan (Milvus milvus) wird bis zu 72 cm groß und bekommt eine Spannweite von bis zu 180 cm. Er ernährt sich u.a. von Mäusen, Vögeln und auch Aas. Der Raubvogel ist in Deutschland häufig anzutreffen und gut auf Kulturlandschaften zu sichten.
Honourable mentions are the Wetland hide and Dragonfly hide. Both very big and probably the most accessible of all the hides on the site. We were running short on time so had to rush these hides but soaring around the Wetland hide was a Red Kite.
6/6
