Red Kites are wimps!

Misunderstanding of these large birds means that some are worried about the nature of red kites but in fact they are scavengers and are commonly seen eating worms rather than even bothering to hunt a rabbit! With the lambing season in full swing, the RSPB is reassuring farmers that red kites do not pose any threat to lambs. Last year was a great year for the kites in County Down and the RSPB are hoping that 2013 will bring similar successes.
