In 1989, Britain began reintroducing red kites after persecution left fewer than 10 breeding pairs; their population has since risen 2,613% and expanded across the country #GoodNews When i married we honeymooned in Wales, we had to drive to a certain area to see red kites. It was so exciting as they were so rare even then (1992) but now I see them here in Sussex! Often too. What a great success story. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/science/wildlife/in-1989-britain-began-reintroducing-red-kites-after-persecution-left-fewer-than-10-breeding-pairs-their-population-has-since-risen-2613-and-expanded-across-the-country/articleshow/134028082.cms
