I live near to this and I have seen them flying over my garden, they are based at Rockingham Forest. I have been emailing the site manager and he was telling me all about the kites.I email him to see if what I saw over my garden was a red kite.
I feel very sad that some one can do this to some spectacular bird of prey.
Hey farmer, farmer, put away the D.D.T now. Give me spots on my apples, but leave me the birds and the bees, please!
I'm sorry to say I have not seen any red kites flying over my house since starting this post. it's very sad.
this one shows three but a long way off,
I don't belive it I just posted the above post when I spotted a large bird flying over, to my delight it was a red kite, it flew over house so I went to the front garden to get some photos, I was shocked there was not one red kite but three!!
It's RED KITE come back ~ shot this pair a couple of days ago a few miles rom Otley . . . .
Janet, thanks for your photographs. Well spotted and I am glad you have seen them again.
David, that is a superb photograph. Even better when enlarged.
wow davidmelville,
great shot, what camera do you have?
i'm just leaning to take photos,
i have a Canon EOS 1000D with a 70 X 300 lens and a 2 X auto tele-converter.
I still can't get photos like yours. :-
