Description
A Sky Full of Kites is the story of the Argaty Red Kite project, a remarkable conservation effort that has brought these magnificent birds back to Scotland. Tom Bowser's family, who own the 1,400-acre farm at Argaty in Perthshire, played a key role in this rewilding project.
After centuries of persecution, the red kite was on the brink of extinction in Scotland and England. However, thanks to the efforts of Tom's parents, Lynn and Niall, and their decision to turn their farm into a safe haven, the species has been successfully reintroduced to the area.
This book is not just a story of conservation, but also a personal journey of Tom Bowser as he returns to work on the farm after a career in journalism. It is a testament to the power of nature and the importance of protecting our environment.
