Last time i wasout ferreting i had three red kites circling me like vultures.

 

I wouldn't leave the ferts above ground long near them either.

 

I think they were probably just interested and were drawn to the rabbit warrens as they do take their fair share of young rabbits etc...

They where on country file on sunday 6oo of them come to a farm as the guy puts out 80 kilos of meat for them at 2pm every day it was some sight to see

 

Was it at Gigrin farm in mid Wales?

It's a hell of a sight!

Damn,beat me to it .lol. :clapper::clapper:

 

It is said that kites were as commen as seagulls are now ,years ago and that the gull has replaced kites as the main inland scavenger ,especially around rubbish tips .As for a kite taking a ferret ,that wouldnt happen .The size of the feet denote what birds of prey kill and kites are not endowed in that department .Scavengers and insect eaters .
