Overview
In 1977 one female bird was identified as the source for all UK kites, so small was the breeding stock. Today the red kite is a rare success story in British conservation. Twenty years ago Spanish birds were introduced into the Chilterns - 500 breeding pairs are there now. In Wales, from having \"survived as a beleaguered remnant in a remote part\" (in the words of ornithologist Leslie Brown), it's an everyday sight in the hills. I've even seen one scavenging between stalls at Machynlleth's market - a sight that would have delighted the late Bill Condry, a Guardian Country diarist and champion of the red kite.
