Rhayadar, Mid Wales

The rolling hills of Rhayadar in Mid Wales, in which is situated Gigrin Farm. By arrangement with the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), the farm is a feeding centre for the red kite, the national bird of Wales.

 

Every afternoon people come to see spectacular avian aerobatics as hundreds of kites vie for food distributed by tractor. But guess what? When we visited, I left my SLR camera and lenses at home, and I had only my mobile phone with me, which simply wasn’t up to the job. So no photos; just this one. Perhaps I’ll return next year, properly equipped.
