Nice photos. Where did you take the kite? I'm interested in how far they have spread. I know there have been releases of kites in the Chilterns, Tyne Valley and the Black Isle, but they seem to be turning up all over now.

It was at Loch Ken SW Scotland. There is a huge feeding station a few miles away at a village called Laurieston. They are in their 100s now, last year over 50 young fledged successfully. A brilliant result especially when they were only released several years ago.

Thanks Fudgey. Wonder how far the spread of kites is now? The furthest south I've seen them is around Peterbourough and the furthest north, a few miles west of Dingwall, but neither of these locations is that far from release points.
