Congratulations, lucky you, I have yet to see one, I keep my fingers crossed as they seem to be spreading fairly rapidly.
Red squirrels reminds me, I need to go to Brownsea Island soon.
Good luck,

Always nice to hear about the spread of the Red Kites, and it's such a thrill when you first see one over your garden. But Red Kites AND Red squirrels - now that's just greedy! |

Lucky you to have baby woodpeckers, red squirrels AND red kites!
Driving through the chilterns yesterday I managed to spot 9 different red kites flying overhead in less than 10 minutes! That area seems to be a haven for them as they are all over the place.

Nice that they are being seen on the I.O.W.. Now you should start tempting White Tailed Sea Eagles back. I believe they bred there at one time.

Jim | That's correct Jim. In fact, the last breeding record in England was from the Isle of Wight in 1780. | | |
