Seeing a Red kite soaring high in the sky is a true delight!
Once a very rare bird, thanks to successful reintroduction projects these wonderful birds can now be seen in lots of places in the UK.
This magnificently graceful bird of prey is unmistakable with its reddish-brown body, angled wings and deeply forked tail.
It was saved from national extinction by one of the world's longest-running protection programmes.
Successfully re-introduced to England and Scotland. Red kites are listed under Schedule 1 of The Wildlife and Countryside Act.
Scientific name: Milvus milvus
Bird family: Kites, hawks and eagles
This footage was taken in Reading, Berkshire.
