An Archaeologist's View on RED KITE Conservation: From Medieval Tolerance to Modern Revival

In this video, I interviewed Ettie Waterman, a PhD student at the University of Reading, about her research project: studying red kite remains to understand how their distributions and feeding habits have changed from medieval towns to the modern day. We talked about the evidence for the tolerant attitude of humans towards red kites in the medieval period, their persecution under the Tudor vermin laws, and their successful reintroduction to the UK in the 1980 and 90s. We also touched on the controversial practise of feeding red kites, which studies have shown is common in areas like Reading. If you'd like to find out more about Ettie's research, please leave a comment and I'll ask her to answer any questions. Sources: [1] - Orros, M.E. and Fellowes, M.D.E.
