Autumn

autumn

Autumn signals the start for red kites to come together in late afternoon for what is known as a ‘communal roost’. We’re aware of several roost sites but would welcome any information should anyone come across a roost that can contain high double numbers of kites.

RSPB report shows North Yorkshire again the worst region in the UK for the persecution of birds of prey.

"The RSPB's Birdcrime report summarises offences against wild bird legislation that are reported to the RSPB each year. We have published the report annually since 1990: it is the only centralised source of incident data for UK wild bird crime. 

For the first time we are presenting the Birdcrime report data in an interactive online format, to make them more accessible than ever before. Keep scrolling down to see headlines, incident maps and case studies for 2015"

Homepage quotes

"When the kyte builds, look to lesser linen"
From Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale

"Ah, could I see a spinney nigh,
A paddock riding in the sky,
Above the oaks, in easy sail,
On stilly wings and forked tail."
Paddock is an old English name for the Red Kite
By John Clare (c1820)
