My friend in mid-Wales sees red kites daily too.  Beautiful birds  :)

They are the only bird of prey with a forked tail, and thats how you can tell them when they soar over  ;D

There seems to be a pair round here  and we also have a seagull or two and I saw the seagull attacking one of the kites and it regualirly attacks jackdoors (sp) too. I dont know if the seagull had chicks near but first you hear the noise and eventually you see the gull going crazy!

Great news. Now I know a mysterious bird that flew overhead the other day on my way back from Hereford was a Red Kite ;D
