--part1_c2de8.324f16c6.3d20b23c_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Just back from a lengthy trip to UK and spent some time in the Chilterns and Thames Valley area. There are an astonishing number of red tail Kites everywhere in that area. Many years ago when I left the UK they had disappeared except for a few in Wales. A program to introduce them about 25 years ago with breeding pairs from Spain has succeeded beyond anyone's expectations. There are now hundreds of breeding pairs in the Chilterns and they are being introduced elsewhere. Initially it was popular to feed them with chicken parts and left overs but it apparently has an effect on the bone density so it is now illegal to feed them. You still see them hovering around gardens and on the Thames last week they were wheeling and diving all around. A great sight.
