These are not the most clear pictures as it was very difficult to track the red kites as they kept swooping & looping (and I don't have a huge telescopic lens).
Taken just outside the village of Cilgerran in Pembrokeshire.
We also have them soar above the fields where I live.
This magnificently graceful bird of prey is unmistakable with its reddish-brown body, angled wings and deeply forked tail.
It was saved from national extinction by one of the world's longest-running protection programmes.
It has now been successfully re-introduced to England and Scotland. Red kites are listed under Schedule 1 of The Wildlife and Countryside Act.
