Breeding Red Kites

Red Kites are still rare breeding birds in Bedfordshire, however they are slowly filling in after birds have bred in the north and south of the county. These are in mid-Beds. Two chicks have been raised from this nest and have fledged in the last few days. Photos thanks to Tony Squire.

1 of 2 Red Kites between the Haynes turning and Old Warden. Pictures taken under heavy cloud cover, but compensation for the poor light was provided by a second Kite that joined it once it took to the air. Ray Roche
