  • Red Kites are fabulous aviators and are looking for edibles at the lake and the composting facility.

    So beautiful. My favorite bird of all time. So elegant in flight. So stunning to see them flying above.

    I live in Belgium and I see them every time when I drive up to Luxembourg and back. Nowadays, there are a lot of them in the hills of the Ardennes. Majestic birds. They always make my day. Beautiful footage with an excellent choice of music!

      Same here, been seeing 10’s of them, they’re actually starting to fight each other and you can regularly see them having scuffles with crows. The other day I actually saw a group of around 7, which is rare, as they’re very solitary.

    We have a couple of pairs in our area, delightful to watch....I saw one take thermals up, so high that it was just a dot, all without flapping more than a couple of beats...the video is lovely, and I particularly liked being able to see the wonderful tail in action, it is so key to the soaring flight, and this detail is invisible to most of us "ground-dwellers"!

  • @Potatoshaneko

    I get to see these every so often where I live. One was hovering over my house for a good 15 minutes on my Birthday, which was awesome!
    Considering I live in quite an urban area of Hampshire, I get to see a very large variation of birds such as the Honey Buzzard, Sparrowhawk(2 landed in my garden at different times, one because it was shredding a small bird and another because it got blown in by gale force winds lol it was fine, uninjured.), Red Kite, Peregrin Falcon, Goshawk and I've also seen a Barn Owl.
    The Barn Owl was quite the adrenaline rush, as I was walking home from a late night shift at work and had my head down listening to music. I was walking next to a large farmers field and saw a small shrew or mouse or something run between my legs, I looked up and I was face to face with a Barn Owl in full flight. Scared the life out of me! LOL.

      Hi Rosie, they are not "beasty" like many other birds of prey. In fact they are very friendly birds, who normally get stressed by others. I never have seen a red kite beeing agressive. They are my favourites and i watch them for years in my backyard. Here live many of them and they are breeding next too each other. They are very light and loose against bigger and stronger ones, often they leave the field. But you are right, they are real acrobates and beauties :) greetings from germany

    A very nice video. As others have said they’re getting more and more common around southern England. That’s thanks to John Paul Getty successfully reintroducing them at his estate in Stockenchurch. They’ve slowly spread out from there. I believe they’ve been reintroduced in other parts of Britain since too.

I won’t repost on TH-cam or any other digital platform, it’s simply to share screen for others to watch. I want to point out the tail of a hovering raptor and how it’s constantly at work.
