Food In Beak Food In Mouth Kite Kites Wales Birds Of Prey Raptors
Red Kite Takes 'Fast Food' to New Heights - Wales' Skyline Gets a Feathered Delivery Service!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot by John Cancalosi, we witness the majestic Red Kite soaring through the skies of Wales with its latest culinary conquest clutched firmly in its beak. This remarkable bird of prey is not your average takeout delivery driver! Protected and thriving in the UK, these raptors have expanded their territory from western Europe to extreme northern Africa. However, they still hold a special place in their hearts for Wales, where they can be found gracefully navigating open wooded lands or mingling with farmland-pasture and heathland. Once upon a time, these urban explorers even frequented cities but now prefer visiting rich feeding areas on the outskirts of towns—yes, you guessed it—rubbish dumps! Talk about finding gourmet delights amidst discarded treasures! With an appetite for carrion and small to medium-sized mammals and birds, our feathered friend knows how to satisfy its cravings. Nesting high up in trees adds an extra touch of elegance to their lifestyle. While some migrate across north and central Europe during certain seasons, this particular Red Kite seems content flaunting its aerial acrobatics skills right here at home. So next time you spot one of these magnificent creatures gliding overhead with food dangling from its mouth like a true daredevil diner-in-the-sky, remember that even wildlife appreciates fast food every once in a while!
