Gigrin Farm: The Red Kite Spectacle

Brecon Beacons Sky

Head north on the A483 to Rhayader (40 mins) for arguably the most dramatic wildlife event in Wales.

The Feeding Phenomenon

Every single day (2pm GMT / 3pm BST), a tractor distributes beef scraps into the fields at Gigrin Farm.

The Spectacle: Hundreds of wild Red Kites descend from the hills. They do not land; they swoop and dive to snatch the meat in mid-air. You watch from specialised hides just metres away, allowing you to hear the wind in their feathers. It is a photographer's dream and a "must-see" for nature lovers.
