Monthly Diary - December 2005
| 1st Dec |
The next phase of the Red Kite release begins with a further 6 Red Kites being released. The kites had been part of our breeding programme, and had spent several weeks in an aviary at the top of the grounds acclimatizing to the area. Our evening heron feed had been moved to the top of the mound, so that the Kites could watch birds coming into feed on a daily basis. The day arrived and a section of the aviary netting was lowered, and the kites flew out free. All had been fitted with radio transmitters and are going to be tracked by Amy, one of our research students from the Tawny Owl release programme. |
