RED KITE ROOST

Red Kite (Kevin DuRose)




Aylesbury area; 33 minimum RED KITES at roost site, nearly double last years winter counts - 27 in air at once, 4 in trees and 2 late comers. Once they started going into trees too hard to count but could only see birds arriving from North and West so guess other unseen birds arrived from South/East.

Also c 80 Greenfich + c 200 Chaffinch.
