It's kind of awesome to watch hawks from 500 feet above the Hudson River. The Red-tails put on quite a show- for today, other birds remained higher.

Allison and I were supposed to go to a friends painting exhibit this afternoon. We arrived at the gallery only to finding out that this was the one afternoon of the week that it closed early. And then it started raining a bit. We ended up finding refuge under this building for a while.
Red House Farm appears to be popular so here's another, closer view of it taken from the ironstone railway trackbed across the valley. The centre part is the oldest and was originally a traditional moorland long house.

Orange tulip against a background of dark purple pansies. The light really highlighted the bright orange-red of the flower.

Managed to crawl across a sheep dropping littered field on my knees to get to the edge of this lagoon where there were in excess of 15 RT divers. Luckily, once I had crouched down at water side a few came close to investigate! Myrar, Western Iceland
Several contacts have expressed interest and asked questions about the Red Kites, the feeding station and the feeding programme. If you’re not interested, skip this blurb.
I spoke to the RSPB man who told me that Red Kites started relying on human leftovers thousands of years ago, when hunter gatherers would chuck out bones etc after eating their meal. This would have taken place in the afternoon apparently, the hunters having hunted in the morning, cooked and eaten by the afternoon. So the kites got used to having a free meal.... So now they give it to them at 2pm GMT. (3pm BST)
The other purpose served by this gathering of kites is that the young need to learn where the communal winter roosts are, and if they all gather at 2pm for a feed they can follow the older ones to the roosts afterwards. They can’t survive cold winter nights all alone in a tree. So for these reasons they don’t plan to ever stop feeding these kites, its a permanent programme, but he wouldn’t tell me where the roosts are, its secret.
A Red Kite has a wing span of five and a half feet and weighs just 1 kilo. (That wing span is the same as my height !!) But a buzzard has a wing span of 4 feet and weighs 3 kilos. So, the kite is a delicate bird compared to a buzzard and a lot less powerful. From the ground a buzzard can rise four feet with one wing beat, a kite needs three wing beats to rise by the same amount.... this is the explanation the RSPB man gave for their reluctance to come down for the food sometimes, the food is in front of trees, where foxes might be lurking, and they are slow to gain height to escape.
He told me there are four Kite feeding stations in Wales, but this one is the most scenic, and is also the only one that is free. You only have to pay for the car park (£1.50). The location is Bwlch Nant yr Arian, on the A44 between the villages of Llywernog and Cwmbrwyno (and in case you think there aren’t enough vowels in that name, a “w” in Welsh is pronounced “oo”). There is also a cafe, toilets, children’s playground, walks and mountain bike trail. Good views too if the weather is right. I'll post a picture or two soon of the views I took today.
If you plan to visit, make sure to know that the weather is going to be good, its in the mountains and when its bad its very bad. Winter is great for the light if its sunny, the sun being low enough to light their undersides. If its not sunny, there is so little light that you’ll be using ISO 2000, as you’ll probably want a shutter speed of around 1000th sec.
If you do plan a visit, be sure to let me know, its only about half an hour’s drive from where I live and I might be able to meet you.
