Springwatch Red Kites

Posted by Karen Thorne on 02/06/2009 14:10:13

I'm very pleased to see that Springwatch is, in part, coming from Wales this year. Hopton House is just 6 miles from the Welsh border and it is my favourite holiday destination.

One of my very special treats is a trip over to see the red kites being fed at Gigrin Farm, featured on last nights show. It's only about 45 minutes from Hopton House and is a wonderful day trip combined with a drive or walk round the Elan Valley.

Unfortunately I've never been able to successfully photograph a red kite so a big thank you to www.marches.tv for this lovely photo taken at Gigrin.

Karen they are beautiful, I had the pleasure of watching one hover over our garden yesterday for about 2 or 3 minutes. They seem to be thriving in north hampshire - its great to see them doing so well.
