As the day fades, the hunt begins. A Red Kite flying low and steady, eyes fixed on the ground below — scanning, calculating, and moving with absolute control. Every glide has purpose, every shift in the wings a response to what’s happening beneath. This is wildlife at its most honest. No rush. No noise. Just instinct and experience working together in silence. Moments like this don’t last long, but when they do, they’re unforgettable. Take a moment this evening and watch closely. #RedKite #BirdO

Sound on for this one team! 🔊🦅 The mesmerising call of a red kite is always a treat! These magnificent birds of prey can easily be identified in flight due to their large forked tail, but also due to this distinctive screeching call they make. Has anyone been lucky enough to hear this close up before? 🧡 #Autumnwatch 🎥 Mick Vogel | BBC Springwatch
