BBC Radio 4 - Tweet of the Day, Red Kite

David Attenborough presents the red kite.

Tweet of the Day is a series of fascinating stories about our British birds inspired by their calls and songs.
 
David Attenborough presents the red kite.  After centuries of persecution red kites were almost wiped out but in 1989 a project to restore the red kite back into the wild began.  Since then kite numbers have soared, so that now these birds are foraging even around the outer suburbs of London.
