A Red Kite after being harrassed by Rooks whilst Im waiting for a train near Frisby on the Wreake, in Leicestershire.
This graceful bird of prey is unmistakable with its reddish-brown body, angled wings and deeply forked tail. It was saved from national extinction by one of the world's longest-running protection programmes. It has now been successfully re-introduced to England and Scotland. Red kites are listed under Schedule 1 of The Wildlife and Countryside Act.
