Welsh_red 4,398 Posted April 18 Report Share Posted April 18 Been to Prague zoo today and seen 2 red kites in the dome enclosure . Its weird I go round looking at all the foreign animals not thinking about them being trapped in the cages until I seen the red kites and suddenly felt really sorry for them. Doing circular laps non stop out of bordem. Back home I will see red kites every single day 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dogmandont 9,427 Posted April 18 Report Share Posted April 18 Seen my first and only red kites a couple of years ago while creeping through a wood to try for a sneaky bolt in a big rangey place, a pair were roosting about 15 foot up directly above the earth. Don't know how common they are NI but it was my first and only sighting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bangersanmash 2,463 Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 Your comments going back a week now mate , so somebody will of commented on it nodoubt. Thats one thing I've never seen. A died kite on the side of road or motorway. Many years back they introduced them back to harrogate near harewood house ( soft release ) . At first the birds were in flights. Then after a few month they opened the flights up but still fed the birds until they found their feet around the area. Now you see them all over Down the side of the A1 M1 & A64. Can't beat looking out of motor seeing them twisting & turning specially the tails forking. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The copper that was talkin about it was on that police program years back ( Road Wars )with that other bald headed copper. He was a right prick on the program. Good cop bad cop. Think it's down derby way or Nottingham. " I hear black birds around here first thing doing house alarm sounds ". Few months back I heard a jay mimicking the sound of a buzzard. I'm looking all over for this buzzard on the treeline then noticed it was a jay. Another was a sparrow mimicking a bullfinch call. Its amazing how they can do this behaviour.

tatsblisters 8,255 Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 Starting to see more red kites around me the last couple of year's probably descended from the red kite breeding program they did at Harewood house nr Leeds i believe some year's ago. Buzzards have been quite common around me for a few year's now i often wonder if they are detrimental to the brown hare population preying on small leveretts as their is no longer a healthy rabbit population. I would think that red kites are not as detrimental to other species than the buzzard is that i have heard can be a bit of a pain around release pen's and such like.

Gilbey 1,411 Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 Haven't heard Our blackbirds mimic, just sing brilliantly of an evening, love it. Starlings round here have bits of duck and buzzard mixed into there song, and for as long as I can remember they've called like curlews. Red kites are rare, just the odd one seen 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
