Gigrin Farm: The Red Kite Spectacle
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.
