Berkshire Red Kites

by Oregano @ 2008-03-05 - 16:23:02

Reporting something seen on the M4 driving from Reading to Heathrow somehow goes against the spirit of an "outdoors" blog. Nevertheless this posting definitely does not belong on the other ones!

Since returning to the UK in 1998, I have been delighted to see an increasing number of red kites. In the early 1990s I saw some - on a visit from Bavaria - in the Chilterns and saw loads in the Stuttgart area and between Lyon and Grenoble. I have often seen them in the Hampshire downs and over the last two years between Basingstoke and Reading.

Today there was one over the M4 just west of the Maidenhead exit. Great the the reintroduction is working!
