Milvus milvus
Protected in the UK and increasing its range. Mainly found in Wales. Found in western Europe and extreme northern Africa. Lives in open wooded land and varied country including forests or woods mixed with farmland, pasture or heathland. Historically occurred in cities and still quite closely associated with man visiting rich feeding areas on edges of towns e.g. rubbish dumps. Essentially eats carrion and small or medium-sized mammals and birds. Nests in trees. Mainly migratory in north and central Europe

Red Kite Family - A Lesson in Parenting, Survival, and Junk Food Delights!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot by John Cancalosi, we witness the heartwarming scene of a Red Kite family nestled snugly in their Welsh abode. These majestic birds of prey have not only found protection within the UK but are also expanding their range across Europe. Talk about spreading your wings! Known for their preference for open wooded lands and varied countryside, these kites have quite an appetite! While they historically scavenged cities (yes, even rummaging through rubbish dumps), they now frequent rich feeding areas on the outskirts of towns. Who knew carrion could be so gourmet? But it's not just their dining habits that make them fascinating; it's their nurturing behavior too! The adult kite can be seen diligently tending to its young chicks with utmost care and protection. It's a true lesson in parenting as these feathered mothers ensure the survival of future generations. Nestled high up in trees, this picturesque scene reminds us that nature is full of surprises – from wild landscapes to unexpected urban encounters. So next time you spot a Red Kite soaring above or perched near your town, remember to appreciate both its beauty and its resourcefulness. Join us in celebrating this remarkable wildlife moment captured by John Cancalosi – where love knows no bounds and junk food becomes a delicacy fit for kings. . . or rather kites!
