Red Kites - South East England?

[VeegasRS6]

All,

I holiday regularly in Wales (climbing and hiking - so some pretty remote places) and have got used to the sight and sound of red kites around, but over the last few weeks I've heard what is the unmistakable sound of a Kite over the fields behind my house in East Sussex and I'm sure that I can see them at quite a height, circling.

I'm aware that the population of them is growing nationally, but anyone else know if they are spreading into the South East? SWMBO thinks I'm going mad and need my ears/eyes checked.

Cheers

Steve

thanks all, I'll be telling the OH to do one, the next time I hear the Kites.
