The results of our surveys show very positive results and we estimate that the population of Red Kites across the study area more than doubled between 20. Find out more about where Red Kites live and why. The data from these surveys enable us to estimate how many Red Kites live in the study area and how the population changes over time. We have a team of valued volunteers who walk set survey routes across our study area and record sightings of Red Kites and other birds of prey.

Today we continue our important work with Red Kites. We were able to measure the kites’ movements and behaviour after release by fitting them with radio-transmitters and leg rings. We worked closely with local farmers and landowners for nearly five years to ensure the local community was involved and supportive of the project. We bred four of these Kites here at the Trust and released them as fledglings in handmade nests the remaining birds were adults and released from an aviary. The overall reintroduction programme is one of the most successful reintroduction projects in the UK, and is also one of the longest-running continuous conservation projects in the world.īetween 20, the Hawk Conservancy Trust released 12 Red Kites into the wild. We are very proud that our project played an important role in the Red Kite Reintroduction Programme, which started in the 1990s, and is one of our most successful conservation projects to date.
