Farm on the lookout as Tango takes flight again

A bird of prey who went missing and was found more than 100 miles (161km) away has flown from his home again.

Tango the black kite was chased from Herrings Green Activity Farm in Wilstead, near Bedford, on 10 April by other birds.

He was later recovered by his trainer in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk.

On Saturday, the bird was taking part in a display at 14:30 BST when he flew so high his trainers lost sight of him.

The farm has been pursuing several reported sightings but has not yet managed to locate the missing bird.

They posted on Facebook: "We can't believe we are posting this but Tango has done it again!

"Tango has been brilliant over the last few weeks but with this hot weather he just gained so much height."

Black kites are slightly smaller than red kites with darker plumage and a more subtle fork in their tail.

Tango can also be identified by his leather straps which should still be hanging from his ankles.

On Tuesday the attraction posted: "Please continue to keep your eyes open for him. We are hoping that he's not travelled as far as last time!"
