One breeding female left. In the whole of England- The Red Kite.

In 1989, there was one successfully breeding female red kite left in the whole of England and Scotland. One. 🦅 Today the UK holds 17% of the entire world population. The red kite was exterminated from two countries, protected by a handful of dedicated people for over a century, and brought back from the edge in one of the most extraordinary conservation recoveries ever recorded. Shakespeare wrote about them in Tudor London. Now they're back.
