ESCAPED UNRINGED BLACK KITE IN HAMPSHIRE

The Hawk Conservancy Trust lost the Black Kite on 27 April.

Although I was told that the bird carried a white plastic ring, they have now confirmed that the ring had been taken off. So it is unringed.

The sightings I have noted of Black Kites (including some that were reported as probable) are: 11/5 nr Lymington; 12/5 Embley Wood, Romsey17/5; West Wellow / Ower; 19/5 M3 southwest of Hook; 11/6 Ower; 23/6 Crampmoor, Romsey (Keith)
