Meet Squawk and Squeal...

...the cheeky red kite chicks, fresh from their new book, 'Let's Go Flying, Kites'.

The book is a fun story for kids, with delightful illustrations and a conservation message.

Emma Reed, RSPB Education Officer, said:
"We are thrilled that the return of red kites to north east England has inspired the production of this beautiful, entertaining and enjoyable book by Jules Burnett, and we're delighted that Go North East are sponsoring it's production. 'Let's Go Flying, Kites' is the ideal book to inspire youngsters to take an interest in kites and other wildlife and will make the perfect Christmas present for a budding Bill Oddie or Kate Humble. It's great news that local businesses such as Go North East are working together with the region's conservation organisations in such an inspiring and creative way."
