Victorian Red Kite said to be by Peter Spicer of Leamington Spa, clearly recased but nice bird just the same. NOT FOR SALE, as it is still owned by the Andy Henry family. Actually he was originally instrumental in creating this website but sadly he passed away, so he never got to see what it has become. He would have been amused that's for sure!!!!!
