Rio, the red kite flies again

Rio, the red kite flies again

In 2012, through the RSPB, we adopted and named Rio the red kite. Rio was brought to Northern Ireland from Wales as a chick and was released in Co Down near Castlewellan. A few weeks ago Rio was found injured near a farm close to Dromara, Co Down. After a few weeks of TLC from vets and the RSPB she was ready to be re-released again. Miss Lockington, Mrs Walker, Harvey, Emily and Allister were delighted to go and see her take to the skies again.
