| Re: Tagging wings of Red Kites
The reason that they have such large wing tags is so that they can be identified from a long distance. This reduces the disturbance factor.
Each wing tag is unique its like a car registration. If you are lucky enough to find any kind of wing tagged bird it is worth reporting, they usually send you information back about that particular bird. ie where it was tagged, how old it is, what sex it is etc etc
I hope that explains enough for you
