Oh my word... we just watched *seven* red kites fly over our garden. That's easily the most in one sighting. We're just on the outskirts of #Brighton and red kites have slowly been arriving. They're plentiful further north in Sussex and to the west (especially around the M25) but it's taken them a long time to reach Brighton. A few years ago we'd see maybe one or two a year, then slowly we'd get several annual sightings of lone kites. Last year it became clear that numbers were slowly increasing, but today's sighting is something else! #Birds #BirdsOfMastodon #RedKite #photography #wildlife #Nature

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.

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.
