Hi, I saw this bird of prey in Swansea today, I think it is a red kite, am I right? 
Thanks :-)

definately Red Kite (you can tell by the forked tail), being mobbed by some sort of corvid - probably jackdaw because they look like they have lighter coloured heads. nice shot! Welcome to WAB!

We watched it for a good 15 minutes, every other bird in the area was having a go at it but it didn’t seem to care at all! I shot the photo on my iPhone, I’ve got some video too. |
