Red Kites have been seen for nearly ten years, gliding and soaring into Dinton's airspace. The original kites that started the breeding program in a joint project between the RSPB and the Nature Conservancy Council were brought in from Spain. According to one website, in 2003, there were no fewer than 177 breeding pairs located in the Chilterns, and since then, they've gone from strength to strength. The video clip below (press the play button) was taken from Chapel Road in Ford, immediately after last years harvest. If you want to see a better quality video clip of a red kite, or alternatively listen to their distinctive 'mewing' cry, click on the following link and it will take you to an RSPB website page.
