Description
Red kites were once Britain’s most common bird of prey. By the early 1900s, they had been wiped out. When some reintroduced kites began roosting on their 1,400-acre farm in Perthshire, Tom Bowser's parents decided to turn their estate into a safe haven. They began feeding the birds and invited the public to meet them and learn about them. For Tom himself, ill-at-ease with the values of traditional livestock farming, the project sparked a return to the farm after a career in journalism, and a desire to dedicate his family's land to conservation.
