red kite
Russet European raptor
A red kite is a large bird of prey native to Europe, distinguished by its reddish-brown plumage, forked tail, and graceful soaring flight.
Once endangered in Britain, conservation efforts have restored populations.
Red kites are scavengers, often seen circling over fields and roadsides searching for carrion.
