Red Kite

'Thought you might be interested in the attached pics of kite wing-tagging in the west of the county today. Fabulous birds, and all very good weights (2 female, one male; three is a good brood size). The birds have white tags on each wing, marked with X1, X2 or X3 in black on the top of the wing. Interesting new prey items at the nest included Great Spotted Woodpecker and Song Thrush!' RB
