Aberdeen Red Kites

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

My name's Jenny Lennon and I'm a kite'aholic! All I've done for the last couple of weeks is watch the CCTV footage of our new red kite family.  Joycey (25) and Treekid (13) are doing a fantastic job and the chicks are suitable fat and well fed.  Their feathers are just starting to come through and they look like real kites.

Worried that the male (Treekid) only came in at weekends I camped out every lunchtime last week and rewarded with fantastic views of the whole family on the nest together.  Treekid is a bit smaller than Joycey but his head is a striking silver grey and he looks fantastic. 

I'm off now to have another sneaky peak at the video screen . . .
