The RSPB is celebrating the "remarkable" comeback of the Red Kite, a bird which had almost become extinct in Britain. For more than 400 years the bird of prey was killed as vermin and by the 1960s there were just 20 pairs. Now, the organization's 2011 Big Garden Birdwatch survey recorded as many as 2,000 breeding pairs, an increase of over 130% since last year.
