Aberdeen Red Kites

Red kites are returning to Aberdeen - your chance to get closer to these magnificent birds of prey. More...

Kites on tour

In my last blog I talked about the role of the missing kite database.  Well it has worked and two of our missing birds have been found!  Last Wednesday wing tag 26's radio signal was picked at the Dumfries and Galloway feeding station at Bellymack Hill Farm near Laurieston.  It was also seen on Friday morning. 
 
Then on Thursday last week another kite was found near Doune in Stirlingshire.  This one is wing tag 27 and is called the Kingswells Bullet after being named by local school Kingswells Primary.
 
Even though we expected this to happen its still really exciting and I'm relieved the birds are ok.  The question now is where will the other birds turn up and will they come back to Aberdeen?!
