Red Kites and Buzzards at Gigrin Farm, Rhayader, Mid Wales.

Gathering for the feast
Dateline Monday 12th June 2006


Visited the Kite feeding centre on Gigrin Farm at Rhayader, Mid Wales.
It is an amazing sight to see the Red kites gathering above ready for arrival of the beef.
It is spread around in front of five hides. When the owner leaves the site the feast begins.
The Kites swoop in to pick up the meat and will feed while in flight.
Three pair of Buzzards arrived, they would claim a piece of meat and feed while on the ground.
