Red kites return to Britain with flying colours
Article Abstract:
The Joint Nature Conservation Committee brought nestling red kites to Britain from Navarre and Aragon, Spain, where they are common, in 1988, in the hopes of restoring them after extinction. Ten young were born in 1992. Adult red kites, which have a five foot wingspan, soar on thermal currents. The lack of collective experience hampers the progress of the imported birds. They carry radio tracking transmitters and identification.
