THE RED KITE 213 



attended the efforts of the protectionists in check- 

 ing the egg-looters, and now that several broods 

 have actually succeeded in flying, there is yet a 

 chance if stringent measures are still enforced 

 that the Red Kite, from being on the verge of 

 extinction, may recuperate its shattered forces, 

 once again with its matchless flight and perfect 

 presence to grace many an ancient haunt in the 

 British Isles.
