Red Kite Takes Flight, Spreading Its Wings Across Wales and Beyond!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by John Cancalosi, we witness the majestic beauty of a Red Kite soaring through the skies above Wales. This remarkable bird, protected in the UK and expanding its territory, showcases its incredible wingspan as it gracefully glides through the air. Known for its affinity towards open wooded land and diverse landscapes ranging from forests to farmlands or heathlands, this vibrant creature has historically even ventured into cities. However, it still maintains a close association with humans by frequenting rich feeding areas on the outskirts of towns - yes, even rubbish dumps! Feasting primarily on carrion and small to medium-sized mammals and birds, this raptor's diet is as varied as its habitat choices. Nesting high up in trees adds an extra touch of charm to their lifestyle. While mainly migratory in northern and central Europe, our featured Red Kite proudly represents the avian wonders that grace our skies throughout western Europe and extreme northern Africa. So let us celebrate this awe-inspiring moment frozen in time - a testament to nature's resilience and adaptability. Join us in marveling at this magnificent Red Kite as it defies gravity with effortless elegance!
