Red Kites have been reported (last year I believe) over the London Wetland Centre (WWT) at Barnes .. which isn't that far (as the Kite flies) from Central London ... 
Bye for now ..

Kites seen at four locations within Dorset in the past three months. Most southerly was one just inland from Chesil Beach at Abbotsbury about a month ago. Most recent was last weekend a few miles to the NW of Dorchester. |

Kev .. | There have been a few records over Regent's Park- which is as central as you can get! The guy who is responsible for the birds there- Tony Duckett- records some amazing stuff there- lots of raptors over + Crossbill a few days ago. |

andywolves - It isn't unusual to see a kite these days, in areas well outside the reintroduction areas. Quite often, these could be the non breeding birds, who sometimes like to have a 'wander'. However, they will usually (not always), return to the natal area when they are ready for breeding - usually in their 2nd or 3rd year.
Hope this helps. | Thanks for this - I suspect(fom what you say) that the single kite I spotted here in West /mid Devon this weekend will be one on a 'wander' ! I hope he stays and attracts a mate! |

I was recently passing through the Marlborough area of Wiltshire and saw three pairs of Red Kites hovering over the crest of a hill. I saw these pairs over several days in around the same area.
The tails were definitely forked like a kite usually is, a bit like a swallow. They were near Ogbourne Saint Andrew but since this is private land for Pheasant breeding I didn't feel like getting any closer to them.
Has anyone spotted these pairs before?
