A red kite flys over the Chiltern Hills in southern England

A red kite flys over the Chiltern Hills near Lewknor, southern England, February 25, 2008. The red kite became extinct in England around the end of the nineteenth century. However according to the RSPB there are now over 200 breeding pairs in the area and in the last two decades they have been re-introduced to England and Scotland with magnificent results.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this breathtaking print captured by Eddie Keogh, a red kite soars gracefully over the picturesque Chiltern Hills in southern England. The image showcases the remarkable success story of these majestic birds, which were once on the brink of extinction in England. Historically, red kites faced severe persecution and habitat loss, leading to their disappearance from English skies by the late 1800s. However, thanks to dedicated conservation efforts led by organizations like the RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds), these magnificent creatures have made a triumphant return. According to the RSPB, there are now more than 200 breeding pairs of red kites thriving in this area alone. Over the past two decades, successful reintroduction programs have been carried out not only in England but also Scotland, resulting in an awe-inspiring resurgence of these iconic birds across both countries. This photograph serves as a testament to nature's resilience and mankind's commitment to preserving our natural heritage. It reminds us that through collective action and conservation initiatives, we can reverse even seemingly irreversible damage done to our environment. As we gaze at this stunning scene where a vibrant red kite glides effortlessly against a backdrop of rolling hills and endless sky, let it serve as an inspiration for us all to protect and cherish our planet's precious wildlife for generations to come.
