Red Kite

Milvus milvus

From the kite feeding station near Laurieston where 80-100 kites congregate. An amazing sight and sound of their whistling! A woman with a very large hat goes out with chunks of meat and throws them to the birds and the sky is filled with hopeful kites for some time before. We spent ages there and my husband bought me a cuddly kite as a souvenir.
