CW: Lots of birds
Today I went to visit Gigrin Farm, #RedKite Feeding centre in Powys, #Wales. It's been on my list for ages and I am so glad I went. Facilities are great and you get a really good view of the kite feeding, whether you're in hides or in the viewing field. These are wild birds BTW and the species was in danger in the 90s. The RSPB asked this farm to keep feeding the birds. There are a lot more of these beautiful raptors across the UK now.
The video gives you an idea of the immediate chaotic display when the of ending occurs but you can see a lot of kites at any time really.(Added CW)

The farmer was cutting hay, and we counted *seven* Red Kites following the tractors.
At one point, all whirling over the same field together!
I guess it's the raptor equivalent of a salmon run. A hay cut drives out mice and rodents. So they learnt to follow the tractors 🦅🚜

I was going to take a break from posting today but as it's #wildlifewednesday I couldn't resist.
Here's an image taken on my old camera in 2023 of a Red Kite in flight. In England there have been several conservation successes with these birds over the last 20-30 years. In certain places they almost feel as common as garden birds!

Bei den Rotmilanen werden wieder strenge Rituale praktiziert. Sie sitzen mit maximalem Abstand auf demselben Ast. Einer lockt den anderen mit Futter in seine Nähe. Das Geschenk wird mit Verbeugung präsentiert und unter Aufsicht verspeist.
