Hi,
I really hope this doesn't come across as a stupid question, but as I am an American now living in Europe, the red kite is a new bird for me. Now, I had colonies of Mississippi kites living in my neighborhood back in the US, and we knew summer had arrived when they were in the trees.
Oh yes, back to the point. I see a lot of posts about red kites. And where I am here in Germany, I have at least 4 pairs living within a few km of my apartment. And we have black kites too. So I was wondering if they are particularly rare and I'm lucky to see them, or are they simply a rarity in Great Britain, or is it just a general fascination with them.
