The red kites was Getty the American fellas project, I think it started early 90s. '96 ish I started working over that way Ibstone, Christmas Common area. Got to know quite a few people over that way & gained a lot of permission from beating on small shoots. Youd see the kites back then from High Wycombe out westways. Years later I remember a news report that one had soared over London & it was the first in 150 years to do so. The welsh ones had smaller clutches than the imports apparently due to smaller gene pool, wonder if theyve started to merge bloodlines.
