The Galloway Red Kite Trail is an exciting nature watching opportunity to view spectacular red kites in lovely scenery. The 'Galloway Kite Trail', situated around beautiful Loch Ken promotes the population of kites, recently re-established in Kirkcudbrightshire, and stimulates nature-based tourism to benefit local communities in the area. In so doing, the trail helps to strengthen the 'ownership' of the kites by local communities and tourist operators. There are viewing points with interpretation boards; several walks,(from a few hundred metres to 5km); viewing hides; a feeding station; information boards in various outlets around Loch Ken; independent visitor centres; and even two red kite sculptures! (at Parton and Mossdale).

The Red Kite was being harassed by the crow who was probably protecting young birds but got chased away by the larger, faster and more agile Red Kite.
