Not sure how many have survived, but two have been found shot dead. :C Damned sickening, to say the least.

And the details of that case suggests the bird was sought out for execution - I hope the scumbag responsible suffers some nasty Kharma:C

I don't know when it was filmed but I recently saw (possibly on the One Show or our local news) the release of a batch of young Kites into Grizedale and wish them well.
