Red Kite.

Species: Milvus milvus.

Dumfries & Galloway, Scotland, UK.

 

This magnificently 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.

Info: RSPB.
