Filming kites at Gigrin 9:56pm on 27 May 2009 Hi

I have paid many visits over many years to Gigrin Farm to see the red kites daily feeding. It has always been a real joy at all times of the year... and to see upwards of 300 being fed at a time. It is really one of nature's phenomenon..

The project has come on a lot since my ex-wife and I stayed at the farm house on BandB some 20 years plus ago when the original pioneer to our disbelief said he had red kites nesting on his land and was thinking of starting a conservation project ... and as they say.. the rest is history... !!

I now live in Norfolk.. and altho it is a birdwatchers paradise. and we have marsh harriers.. they are not red kites.. !! Can't wait to go back to Gloucestershire for a visit later this summer.. and an excuse to go back to Gigrin. If you want to finish off a day there in style - pop down the road towards Builth Wells for tea at Llangoed Hall..
