Red Kites are everywhere around Berkshire and the A40 corridor, it's where they were reintroduced. Good to see them making their way North
Red Kites and Buzzards are the two big raptors down here, the easiest way of telling them apart when they are in the air is the shape of the tail; Kites are forked, Buzzards not
They are big buggers, too - I came across buzzards and kites squabbling over a dead sheep a few years ago, they were HUGE, certainly wouldn't want to mess with them
