Red kite

lachlanandmarcus · Red kite

Has anyone else seen a red kite in these parts. I saw one in a field near Kirkton of Skene yesterday. Since Im not familiar with them I had taken note of the colours/shape/characteristics and was suprised when I got home to see it absolutely had to be a red kite (esp with that forked tail!)

I didnt think they were up this far, very exciting.

Yes I've seen them up here - think they released some near Aberdeen a while back.

Just googled and found this http://www.rspb.org.uk/ourwork/co...projects/aberdeen_kites/index.asp
