Redkite history
Redkite company history timeline
The organisation was founded in New South Wales in August 1983 under the name the Malcolm Sargent Cancer Fund for Children in Australia.
However, as it was likely to be a long time before they would recolonise suitable habitat outside Wales, a programme began in 1989 to reintroduce them into England and Scotland.
The re-introduction programme run by the RSPB, Natural England and Scottish Natural Heritage, amongst others, started in 1989 and helped to establish Red Kites in several areas of England and Scotland.
In 1989, six Swedish birds were released at a site in north Scotland and four Swedish and one Welsh bird in Buckinghamshire.
The first successful breeding was recorded at both sites in 1992, and two years later Kites reared in the wild themselves reared young for the first time.
The Yorkshire Red Kite Project was the fifth in this sequence and began at Harewood Estate in West Yorkshire in 1999.
By this time, the newly established Chilterns population had been so successful that, up to 2003, it was able to supply a total of 68 young birds for release in Yorkshire.
In 2005, the Malcolm Sargent Cancer Funds in New South Wales, Queensland and Western Australia merged.
Victoria joined later in 2007.
By 2011 the RSPB no longer counted the number of breeding pairs in the UK on an annual basis because there were so many.
