Red Kite - Rhayader / Rhaeadr Gwy
These are one of the most beautiful birds of prey whos population is now growing in the areas of Wales. I was travelling from work in Aberystwyth through to Abergavenny and decided to take the mountain roads from Devils Bridge through to the picturesque town of Rhayader / Rhaeadr Gwy. Whilst in the area I went to the TV-Relay tower just north of town. Whilst taking pictures of the radio tower this red kite was flying up and round the structure and I took this lovely photo of the bird in action. They are certainly a fine bird and whilst I was in the area I saw many of them flying up and round the fields. I even saw them flying around the towns and houses. GREAT...!

Thank you for the comment.
They are even popular in the built up areas of the Thames Valley, especially round the town of Henley on Thames.
Thank you again.
David.
