  • Is it a bird? Is it a plane?
    No, wait, is it a buzzard or a kite?
    We often get this question on our experience days, so here is a short video explaining some of the differences and shots of two of our birds flying at the centre.

    Thank you for the video. We live in Norfolk and for the last 4 years have been aware of red kites and buzzards in our village.

    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.

    Virtually everything you said is false. You will have to go back to being educated again.

    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.

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

    Thanks for that. There are many red tailed kites in the Northamptonshire area & often see them. However I will now look for buzzards aswell. Once again, thanks....

    Enjoyed that…l which one is it that does the high piched single squawk? I have loads in the trees of my remote Hertfordshire property. They tend to sit on the thermals very high up so from what you have said I guess they are red kites?

    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!

    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.

    Tying birds to posts is animal cruelty and should be banned. How would you like it if you were timid, yet tied to a post for someone's sick entertainment?

      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?
