Red Kites

Since I have been living here, I have noticed a lot of birds of prey around, but I wasn't sure what they were exactly. We had some friends over today, who suggested that they may be red kites, and after having a look at the RSPB website, we are sure that this is what they are, because they have very distinctive forked tails, and glide as they fly, their wings hardly moving. Here are some pictures I took from the window, and better still is the RSPB video of red kites in flight.
