Hi Everyone
I would like to know if anyone else has seen a red kite in the Kent - East Sussex area. I was driving from Tenterden to Rye yesterday and a large bird passed over the car. It had the forked tail and white patches on the wings. As far as I know I have not heard of red kites in this area.
Can anyone let me know if they have seen any or am I just going mad......

Have just seen a red kite over Petts Wood, being harassed by a couple of crows (that probably have a nest in the area)
Heading north towards Chislehurst.
stealthybutnotthatstealthy said: I know very little re Kent and Sussex, but red kites have since the thread was created spread to most, if not all counties in England.
I know they have reached here in East Kent near the coast but no great numbers yet ... waiting to see one fly over my quarry!
