Saturday's Peninsula Breakfast Briefing
Saturday's bird fact:
Red Kite's are becoming a common sight soaring in the Shotley peninsula skies. But did you know they attracted to shiny and colourful objects, often incorporating them into their nests. Red kites first breed at two years old and produce a single clutch of around three eggs. As monogamous birds, mating pairs will return to the same nests each season, adding new material to them during the breeding period.
