Re: Red Kite re-introduction

They do spread quite a way, although kites are generally territorial and non migratory the young of each pair will spread out to find their own territories, where they are reintroduced they often spread out in a similar way for the same purpose. There is also quite a lot of evidence that they are following motorways and feeding off roadkill, so i guess your bird went down the M4 then down the M5
