Yorkshire Red Kites
Back in 1999 a project was started to reintroduce Red Kites back into Yorkshire. The site chosen for the reintroductions was the Harewood Estate on the outskirts of Leeds. The scheme was a great success and this site is now one of the best and easiest places in our area to see Red Kites. I went up with Jayne today and we managed to see four individual birds including 2 birds that were flying low over the treetops calling to each other. One very kindly perched up in a tree for a few minutes and I managed to digiscope this image.
