A RARE bird of prey that was once extinct from most of the UK is thriving once again in Yorkshire.
The Red Kite is an all-too-rare success story. But tonight in York bird lovers will be able to hear for themselves just how well the birds - released into the wild from Harewood Estate near Harrogate in 1999 - have been doing.
Doug Simpson, Red Kite protection officer with the Yorkshire Red Kite Restoration Project, will be talking about the birds' progress to members of the York Ornithological Club. The talk is at 7.30pm tonight in the Friends Meeting House between Clifford Street and Castlegate.
