Hi Graham,
Ben's solution is excellent, I just thought I would add an alternative 
starting with the X dataframe:

x2<-matrix(X$Count,ncol=3)
rownames(x2)<-unique(X$Distance)
colnames(x2)<-unique(X$Species)
kiteChart(t(X3),xlab="Distance",ylab="Species")

There are a number of other options like color and scaling available.
