Sir-   I was interested in David Shackleford sighting of the red kite on Exmoor (Your Letters, June 25).

I first observed a red kite here at Exton late summer 2007 feeding on frogs.

I have since had occasional sighting at Comers Gate, also as David said at Drapers Way, and my last sighting was here at Exton in the spring of this year.
