Paintings inspired by red kites????????????

To discover the secrets of how red kites raise their chicks, I build a scaffold tower 16 metres high to study a nest high in the tree canopy. The amount of rubbish I found there was heartbreaking.

*ABOUT THIS FILM*
____________________

Red Kites are one of Britain's most distinctive birds of prey. With iconic forked tails, and long, angled wings, they’re now a common sight in our skies and have inspired many of my paintings. But it hasn’t always been this way. In the 1870s these birds were extinct in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and until an ambitious reintroduction programme in the 1990s, were absent from Yorkshire. So, when I found a well-established nest in a tree canopy near me, I applied for a Schedule 1 license to film their nesting behaviour.

Filming the nest
Red kites nest in March, so it was important I secured my hide and cameras in winter and to further minimise disturbance, I build a scaffold tower 16m high to secure my cameras close to the nest then take this down and move it 20 metres away where it will later, after the chicks have hatched and are old enough for the parents to leave the nest for short spells, house my hide.
