Fantastic footage especially of the Red kite.Beautiful bird

[@Philippe.Gaumann]

Many thanks

[@NicholasBrougham-oe9wi]

Have both here on the North Downs - seem to get on well. Often see both in thermals. Wonderful filming

[@Philippe.Gaumann]

Thanks a lot

[@carldori6172]

Superb, thanks for posting. In Serbia were I live in a rural area, I enjoy watching the Buzzards and smaller hawks.

[@tfrtrouble]

Wow that red kite flying in and getting involved was a twist I didn't expect.

[@fluffykitties9020]

i think the larger one that flew in was a buzzard

[@tfrtrouble]

@@fluffykitties9020 Nope, definitely the other way round. We have both where I live, and I see them often. Common buzzards are brown on top, white/speckled underneath and have rather short round wings and round tails. Red kites are typically a little larger, have blue-white heads, orange bodies, very long slatey wings (with a white patch underneath), and forked tails.

@@fluffykitties9020 I'm not sure if you're American, but I know in America, they call a type of vulture "buzzards", so maybe that's why you're confused? The one being mobbed by the crows is a Common Buzzard (Buteo Buteo), which is a kind of hawk.

[@fluffykitties9020]

@@tfrtrouble no, i'm not in usa. but i believe the largest one is not a kite. the mid sized one they are all picking on i think is the kite, no? look at the pattern on the large birds back of wings and compare to photos of common buzzard in an image search.

[@fluffykitties9020]

where i am crows are always pestering kites, and it looks like the mid sized bird in this video. there are no buzzards where i live.

[@AnthonyWatsonAerial]

That Red Kite is magnificent. I'm lucky enough to have a spot where I can go to watch them flying and playing in the air and it's amazing to watch. The sheer size of the kite compared to the Buzzard and Crows too :O

[@f1pitpass]

beautiful!

[@alkonost8459]

That's one unlucky buzzard 👀

[@micadefries2606]

Those are ravens. Crows are much smaller than a buzzard and have a straight tail and less pronounced fingers.

[@richardwallgren4218]

the buzzard is having a rough day.

[@juanjorobles4594]

Alucinante

[@blackkite4860]

How big is red kite!

[@IamliMinal188]

@Blackkite4860, the red kite is between 175-179cm their max wingspan is about 195cm or 6ft5.

[@raphlvlogs271]

they mainly focus on chasing each other away instead of actually fighting each other

[@fluffykitties9020]

Why would the kite attack the buzzard?

[@rookbirdblues]

Kites see other birds of prey like kestrels and buzzards as competition for resources in their territory and so will kill them if given the opportunity.

[@fluffykitties9020]

why do they all pick on the kite?

[@stevensmith5194]

It’s crows and red kite picking on the buzzard

[@Sarulinecka]

Buzzards are known to take young crow/jackdaw and these crows are doing just what they should be. Protect their territory. Red Kite just saw an opportunity. Great video!

[@fluffykitties9020]

@@Sarulinecka by "take young crow" do you mean baby crows from their nest?

[@Sarulinecka]

@@fluffykitties9020 Buzzards predate on Corvids. Crows are more tolerant of red kites however crows will protect their territories from whomever. They will try to 'escort' any intruder. I love corvids and birds of prey.

@@Sarulinecka Yes - that’s what I thought - ‘helping out’ because he was getting it the neck!
