Hi - we are on holiday at Gigrin Farm in Wales. It is a feeding station for Red Kites and a must for anyone interested in birds. We are the only people staying on the caravan site here. It is quite basic but we and Fudge have been made very welcome. As we are staying we do not have to pay to see the birds being fed. The Wifi internet connection if free also.
The birds start to fly in at about 3pm and keep coming till after 5pm.
The only problem this week is that it is freezing!!

I've seen footage of the Red Kite feeding there on TV. Absolutely amanzing and lovely to see so many beautiful birds - especially ones that were so endangered for so long.

Hi - we leave Gigrin tomorrow. We took some pics but our camera is quite basic so the birds look like flies!! Yesterday we went out and saw a red kite sitting on her nest. We are still freezing and now it is raining. Tomorrow we move to Bridgend where we will see my younger stepdaughter and grand daughters.
