Good Dutch red kite news

This is a red kite video from Spain.

Translated from the Dutch SOVON ornithologists, 22 January 2016:

The red kite is a rare breeding bird in our country, despite the proximity of a large German breeding population. So, the minimally eight breeding pairs of last year were downright sensational.

This can be seen in the list of rare breeding birds in the last Sovon-News. Annual breeding in our country of this species was considered a utopia among Dutch in birders. Is the red kite to stay or are we rejoicing too early?
