Having been driven perilously close to extinction, it has now made a welcome comeback, in part through one of the most successful reintroduction projects ever undertaken. This beautifully illustrated book follows the birds through the ups and downs of the year, from the rigours of raising young during the warm summer months to the struggle for survival in the depths of winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterspersed with the monthly accounts, are chapters on the history of the Red Kite in Britain, the reintroduction programme, the threats it still faces, and its status elsewhere in Europe. Red Kite biology is explored from nest construction, egg laying and nest defence, through to juveniles leaving the nest and learning to live independently. The book concludes with an overview of Red Kite status throughout their range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a foreword by Mark Avery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ian Carter, Dan Powell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1784272000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781784272005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pelagic Publishing Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/18\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 0.50d","brand":"Ian Carter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46136076730623,"sku":"9781784272005","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7c265343-860a-49e8-b51f-012dbefba858.jpg?v=1726415614","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-red-kites-year-ian-carter-9781784272005","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
