A lot are rodent hunters and so are at risk of secondary poisoning from rodenticide and poisons as well as harm from roads, buildings and habitat loss. Want to help these...

    I live just outside Windsor, in Eton-Wick. There are many Red Kites around our village - the residents feed them so they are often seen just above rooftop height, patrolling the gardens. At my local Archery Club (at a Middle School) the Red Kites roost and nest in the large Oak trees in and around the playing field and they're are so de-sensitised by the children playing in the school field that we archers occasionally have to "shoo" them off the top of our straw targets when they use them as perches!

      maybe you just live in an area where they're particularly common, but either way, "ashamed"?? what's so bad about these birds being common?? before they were regionally extinct, they used to be EXTREMELY common. you can actually see references to them in Shakespeare's writing. they were as common as crows and pigeons. it was persecution that got them all killed. they're still nowhere near as common as they used to be. even so, ashamed? really? ashamed of what? bringing back a bird from regional extinction? you have to be a troll, right?

    I always throw food scraps in the garden to feed the crows etc so had a bit of a shock when a red tailed Kite came hurtling in and grabbed the carcass I'd left out. I wondered why all the other birds had stayed clear, they still just sit on the roof tops looking at their free meal, or whats left of it.

    I am confused why at 6:23 the narration says: "This is Monsoon our resident Black Kite". It sure looks like a Red Kite to me and he goes on to talk about Red Kites. Then again I have never been to Europe but know the Black Kite well from Australia.

    • @fensfalconry871
      @fensfalconry871 2 роки тому

      Hi Philip, Monsoon is a Black Kite, if side by side the differences are easier to see but they are both similarly marked.

    Seen a buzzard waddling in the road up a farm lane, juvenile and then waddle across a field...... I think it was injured.... And it's been annoying me what's survival possibilities...... Was thinking of maybe taking a look to see if it was still in same area.
