My friend saw this bird in Evington Park and took the enclosed photograph.
On the identifier it says it is a red kite, but because of the white markings, he thought it might be a Swallow Tailed Kite. If it was a swallow tailed kite, this would be very rare.
Is it possible he saw a swallow tailed kite?

Well, surprisingly, I've just been shopping in Aldi and look what I saw...
I think I was somewhere in England but I can't be sure about that - and sadly I've deleted the original photo as for some unknown reason I only took the one - and I was the only person there so I have no other witnesses sorry. Anyhoo - is this a STK?
