Red Kites in Hillingdon

I am not normally a bird watcher but I have very recently found myself looking to the skies of Hillingdon whilst visiting my girlfriend as I spotted several Red Kites. These are such beautiful and majestic birds and think it's amazing they are soaring through the skies of greater London once again. I have seen as many as 6 or 7 flying around the Hillingdon skies and wondered if anyone else has managed to spot them or even get close to them. They are amazing birds and I will try to get some photos to upload when I next see them

  • Benjamin I have to agree with you Red Kites are a fantastic bird to watch and because they are quite distinctive even non birders recognise and enjoy them. I have been lucky enough to have been able to watch them fairly locally ever since the release scheme back in the late 1990's and still never tire of watching them
