Abstract

Researchers in Aberdeen and the RSPB have set up a project that enables Scottish birds to write their own blogs.

Readers will be able to track the daily lives of red kites as they travel around the Scottish Highlands by visiting a website set up as part of efforts to ensure the species is successfully reintroduced to the area.
