Reviewer 1 Report

The authors compared the use of a landfill site in Spain with the diet of red kites. They have appropriately designed, implemented, analyzed and presented their research. Their findings are critical for the conservation management of the species. As such, the manuscript at hand is both important and suitable for publication in Diversity.

One important remark. Journal style has not been followed in both the text and the references section.
