He's looking good.

Bit of a worry with his right wing Mick it seems to droop after flying even short distances I'm out to try and find him over the weekend to see how he is getting on
He probably needs to build his muscles up again after the impact and that will take time. At least this didn't happen over winter or at a time when he had young to feed.
Can anybody work out what this Kite is carrying? An uneducated guess is that it's an item of clothing, if it was mine I would be delighted to have had it taken.
Any news on the success of the 2015 breeding season, or is it a bit too early to tell yet?
Any updates?
Last year''s details were posted in July last year![]()

Thanks!, if rather depressing news :-C
Sounds worryingly like illegal persecution - parent birds killed away from the nest by poison bait.I have been to nests where I have seen chicks then returned to find them dead or with no activity around the nests indicating late failure.

No the nests I saw looked more like natural predation either other birds or maybe squirrels.
That's a relief!
