Gender: |

| Equipment: |
Canon EOS 7D Mark II 400/1 |
Wingspan: |
76cm |
| Description: |
A familiar sight with its pointed wings and long tail, hovering beside a roadside verge. Numbers of kestrels declined in the 1970s, probably as a result of changes in farming and so it is included on the Amber List. They have adapted readily to man-made environments and can survive right in the centre of cities.

Gender: |
U |
| Equipment: |
Canon EOS 7D 400/1 |
Wingspan: |
87cm |
| Description: |
About the size of a kestrel with long pointed wings, reminiscent of a giant swift. It has a dashing flight and will chase large insects and small birds like swallows and martins. Prey is often caught in its talons and transferred to its beak in flight. Can accelerate rapidly in flight and is capable of high-speed aerial manoeuvres.

| ISO: |

Gender: |
U |
| Equipment: |
Canon EOS 7D 400/1 |
Wingspan: |
123cm |
| Description: |
The largest of the harriers, it can be recognised by its long tail and light flight with wings held in a shallow 'V'. It is distinguishable from other harriers by its larger size, heavier build, broader wings and absence of white on the rump. Females are larger than males and have obvious creamy heads. Its future in the UK is now more secure than at any time during the last century but historical declines and subsequent recovery means it is an Amber List species.

| Description: |
The Red Kite is a large bird of prey, part of the same family as eagles, buzzards and harriers. This is a relatively rare bird of Europe and Northwest Africa. Here in the UK the population of this bird was down to a staggering handful of pairs in Wales. But due to reintroductions using German and swedish birds, populations are growing in both Scotland, Buckinghamshire, and the Chilterns. They have now been spreading over much of the UK. Most recently a population of 100 welsh birds has been agreed to begin reintroduction to Ireland, around the Wicklow Mountains area. Because this bird is a scavenger, it is particularly prone to illegal poisoning, and shooting.
