For the first time in almost 150 years, red kites are breeding again in Aberdeen. 
This is so exciting and a little unexpected at this stage of the project so we are all delighted! the picture to the right is our two little stars which have grown so much since the picture was taken just 10 days ago. To celebrate we have LIVE CCTV footage of our new chicks beamed to VSA Easter Anguston Farm (just outside Aberdeen) and recorded highlights in the centre of the city. If you get a chance come and see our very new and special family.
Yesterday, though. it was back to the usual less glamorous part of the job - clearing out the cages! Several hours of disinfectant and brash cutting later the cages are as good as new for this year's chicks which will arrive soon to complete our reintroduction.
I'll try and keep you all posted on the progress of our red kite chicks as not everyone can make it down to see the footage. My main worry is how I'm going to get any other work done as I could spend all day watching the CCTV!
