Wild Red Kites

Milvus milvus

Milvus milvus. This magnificently graceful bird of prey is unmistakable with its reddish-brown body, angled wings and deeply forked tail. It was saved from national extinction by one of the world's longest running protection programmes, and has now been successfully re-introduced to England and Scotland. This kite was photographed over the Welsh countryside where they are a beautiful sight to behold.
