Hi
Please tell if I have given correct answers.
The kite is, according to its sex, from 25 to 27 in. in length, about one half of which is made up by its deeply (deep) forked tail, capable of great expansion (expand), and therefore a powerful rudder, enabling the bird while soaring (soar) on its wide wings, more than 5 ft. in extent, to direct its circling course with scarcely a movement that is apparent to the spectator below. Its general colour is pale reddish-brown or cinnamon, the head being greyish-white, but almost each feather has the shaft dark. The tail feathers are broad, of a light red, barred with deep brown, and furnish the salmon fisher with one of the choicest materials of his “flies.” The nest, nearly always built in the crotch of a large tree, is formed of sticks intermixed with many strange substances being collected (collect) as chance may offer, but among them rags seem always to have (has) a place. The eggs, three or four in number, are of a dull white, spotted and blotched with several shades of brown, and often lilac. It is especially mentioned (mention) by old authors that in Great Britain the kite was residing (reside) throughout the year; whereas on the Continent it is one of the most regular and marked migrants, stretching (stretch) its wings towards the south in autumn, wintering (winter) in Africa, and returning in spring to the land of its birth.
