A red kite searching for food on thermals over the farm fields of Northamptonshire on a Spring day. Although the red kite is a bird of prey, red kites usually feed on carrion but will occasionally take small birds and earth worms as food. The red kite was extinct in England for many years but has now been successfully reintroduced and the call of the red kite can now be heard in many places around the UK.

Following reintroductions of Red Kites from Europe in the 1980s, the numbers have slowly been increasing.
