Red Kite
Milvus milvus
Red kites have a rusty reddish-brown body with a deeply forked tail. Their head is pale grey and patterned with dark streaks, and they have a yellow beak with a dark hook and pale, striking eyes.
Their angular wings span 185cm. On the upper side, they are red-brown at the shoulders with darker tips and edges, while underneath there are characteristic blocks of white before darker, fingered wingtips.
The red kite is a scavenger and eats mostly carrion, roadkill and worms. If necessary, it will sometimes catch small, live prey such as voles, mice and birds.
