Walks to see the red kites in the Chilterns are set to resume now that the county footpaths have reopened.

The walks were cancelled because of the foot and mouth crisis.

The first of the new walks will be at Aston Rowant nature reserve on Sunday and the next will be the following week at Ibstone.

The walks are free but booking is essential through Cathy Rose, the Red Kites in the Chilternbs officer, on 01844 271306.

There will be other walks throughout the summer.
