[QUOTE="June Atkinson, post: 1572356, member: 1606"] [b]Red Kites in Leeds[/b] [COLOR="DarkRed"]Good to hear that you're seeing the kites in East Leeds (I used to live in Headingley in the 60s........... nothing doing then). Two of our Northern Kites have scarpered to join your Yorkshire Kites - we have one of yours! Good for mixing the genes! WT1 is [B]Speedy[/B], a male, and WT2 is [B]Scarlet[/B], a female as you'll guess. These two have raised six chicks with their respective partners. Also, as a very young bird, Scarlet flew 2,000 miles north and south and into Wales, before finally settling in the Yorkshire/Harewood House area. So, keep a look out for the Wing Tags, which will be pink on the left wing, designating [B]Northern Kites[/B] from [B]Gateshead's Derwent Valley[/B], and yellow on the right wing, because these two were in the first batch of 20 birds released in 2004. If you do see either or both, please let me know, for our database...........[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
