It is this male red kite's turn to keep the eggs warm. Watch him wait for his partner to leave before gently tucking the eggs underneath him to keep them warm. But rather than being the safe haven it should be, this nest is lined with rubbish!

RED KITE NESTS
Red kites have a habit of weaving odd things into their nests, apparently just for the look of it. I've seen socks, bits of cardboard, and even Covid masks go into this nest. What we think of as rubbish, they proudly put up as decorations.

LINE NEST WITH RUBBISH
But sadly so much of our waste contains plastic which means these birds are in danger. Plastic holds water which means the nest could be too damp for the chicks, and of course there is the danger of entanglement with rope or cord.

I am a British wildlife artist based in Thixendale, North Yorkshire, UK. I build ideal habitats to encourage wildlife into my garden and use nest cams to study their behaviour. These studies inform my paintings. I share the best of my video research on this channel for free.

Or of course you may like to purchase my artwork which you will find on my website: https://www.robertefuller.com. Many of the paintings are portraits of the creatures you watch here!
