03/03/15 Red kites being fed at Gigrin Farm, Rhayader, Wales, One family, not content with merely attracting little song-birds, has swapped peanuts for prime cuts of beef to entice hundreds of giant birds-of-prey to their farm in Wales. Every afternoon at 2pm hundreds of circling red kites wait for Chris Powell and his wife, Dominique, to toss-out 40 kilos of meat from their tractor and trailer before stooping down pick up their free lunch. “Today there were probably between four and five hundred birds. If there’s snow on the ground we feed them more and their can be twice as many birds” said Chris. All Rights Reserved - F Stop Press. Tel: +44 (0)1335 418629 +44(0)7765 242650
