Red Kite

The Red Kite (Milvus milvus) is a medium-large bird of prey in the family Accipitridae, which also includes many other diurnal raptors such as eagles, buzzards and harriers. The species is endemic to the Western Palearctic region. It is a rare species which is resident in the milder parts of its range, but birds from northern and central Europe winter further south and west.
