The Percentage of Red Kite Chicks Reared per Breeding Pair.

Prolificacy
When viewing this data it should be remembered that the re-introduced red kites are from the European continent and were taken from only those nests that were most prolific.
Welsh red kites are of a far greater natural diversity; hence the disparity in productivity.

Collated from data provided by the Welsh Kite Trust
