Red Kites in Flight At Gigrin Farm - Professional - Vintage - Pal VHS

With breathtaking feats of aerial piracy, red kites compete with buzzards and ravens for choice pickings. As soon as the meat has been put down in the feeding area, the crows start swooping from the surrounding trees. It becomes quite a noisy affair with the deep 'cronking' calls of the ravens, joined by jackdaws and carrion crows. These are first to begin the feats as buzzards and red kites circle overhead. As soon as the crows have landed, the red kites go on the offensive, awaiting their chance to furl their wings and dive in, skimming the ground, to snatch a scrap of food before rising suddenly to escape the beaks of the angry crows.
