  3. Documentaries show that predators such as #barnowls, #eagleowls, #tawnyowls, #kestrels, #commonbuzzards, #redkites, #foxes can be secondarily poisoned if they eat poisoned #mice.Long-term monitoring of barn owls reveals widespread contamination with #rodenticides,while systematic monitoring is lacking in many countries.This is precisely where the agricultural and hunting lobbies intertwine:instead of promoting natural predators as allies,they defend poisoning strategies

  13. Quite used to seeing solitary Red Kites hovering around the skies round these parts. Occasionally I see two or three hunting together or juveniles playing around. This morning I witnessed the highest concentration of Red Kites I’ve ever seen. There must’ve been around 14 of them. #RedKites #Birds #BirdsOfPrey #BirdsOfMastodon #BirdsForBecsNan

  16. I've just heard a #Cuckoo in the #garden. I was starting to think I'd imagined hearing one last year, but apparently not.

    We've also recently been hearing a #Buzzard at home too, and have #RedKites nesting nearby.

    If I can ever get a photo I will post it.

  19. As usual #RedKites were about; occasionally being moved on by corvids. Patterning is essentially the same across m/f but I've been told the notch in tail is often deeper on males. So 1st image - m? & 2nd f?- but tail is more spread on the 2nd image??

  24. Red kites have made a huge comeback in some parts of Corsica. Several soar above my parents' house daily. What a sight!

  25. Few photos from my weekly jog earlier and a video of what I think were red #kites flying overhead near Dewsbury in West Yorkshire.
    They are surprisingly common in West #Yorkshire, saw eight in one place near Leeds yesterday on the way towards Roundhay Park.

  26. I'd been wondering which of the neighbours had had a baby that could be heard cooing and squeaking outside every day when none of them have had one (to my knowledge). It turns out a colony of #RedKites have moved in and are now regularly soaring around overhead, and that's what they sound like.

    Only relatively recently they were on the #endangered list in the UK, and here we are. Great to see and hear the results of a successful #conservation effort.
