Red kite in flight

Red kites soar with ease, constantly changing the angle of their long, forked tail to steer a course, while hardly moving their broad, drooping wings.

Red kite at nest

Red kites usually nest in the fork of a deciduous tree. The nest is sometimes 'decorated' with rags, plastic bags, and even underwear!
