'thoroughly recommended' -Country-side magazine The Red Kite
(Milvus milvus) - one of our most elegant and impressive birds of
prey - has a varied and dramatic history in Britain. Having been
driven perilously close to extinction, it has now made a welcome
comeback, in part through one of the most successful reintroduction
projects ever undertaken. This beautifully illustrated book follows
the birds through the ups and downs of the year, from the rigours
of raising young during the warm summer months to the struggle for
survival in the depths of winter. Interspersed with the monthly
accounts, are chapters on the history of the Red Kite in Britain,
the reintroduction programme, the threats it still faces, and its
status elsewhere in Europe. Red Kite biology is explored from nest
construction, egg laying and nest defence, through to juveniles
leaving the nest and learning to live independently. The book
concludes with an overview of Red Kite status throughout their
range. With a foreword by Mark Avery.
