Empty Field with Kites
Image: © Des Blenkinsopp Taken: 2 Jan 2010
A rather blurry, low light picture of over 15 Red Kites circling over this empty field to the north of Wallingford. It's hard to believe these birds were once on the brink of extinction. In fact they were extinct in this area prior to their very successful reintroduction. This large field is currently one of the sites on the edge of town attracting the unwelcome gaze of house builders. Tell them it's a nature reserve with rare birds on it.
