We have Red Kites that fly over from Harewood House where they are being reintroduced, I was told that these birds prefer carrion. They have not had any effect on the Wood Pigeons or Magpies. Magpies did drive out the Crows but they are now returning. The large birds seem unaffected as do the finches who have increased and Robbins that have been absent for years appear to be coming back.
May be as one breed reduces others will take their place,
