I spot a Red Kite flying through the valley, it eventually lands in a tree, then has to chase off a crow. A closer view of the Red Kite is had towards the end when it perches on a tree closer to my position.

Great footage Roo, especially the close up of the perching. Lucky for the crow he wasn't being chased by a peregrine. Funny how the crow started it and ended up being the one being chased. Where are you filming all these great films? A pleasure to watch 😊👍

Thanks Steve. This was on the outskirts of Chesham in Buckinghamshire. Most of my wildlife videos are from the Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire areas. Yes the crow started it but I've seen crows chase off Red Kites too. No doubt about the peregrine as it's can move at quite a pace. The red kite is more of a glider, usually riding on the wind, with little or no effort, but a bit slow and akward in the chase, hence the name "kite".

Many thanks, glad you enjoyed this one.

Excellent captures - especially the close up. I've seen a few raptors (no idea what birds they actually were!) having tussles with crows, usually the crows mobbing the bird and seeing it off. One on one obviously swings things in the Kite's favour!

Thanks Mick. I think the crows enjoy a bit of confrontation and excitement, they are full of themselves, even more so when there's a gang of them.
