Red Kites - Take 3

We've had a couple of visits to Gigrin Farm to get some shots of the Red Kites and on both occasions had dismal weather. On both weekends we also tried a back-up shoot at Nant yr Arian, but encountered rain there. So it was unfinished business.
We learned about another feeding centre in the Brecon Beacons at Llanddeusant and last weekend paid a visit. This site is a bit lower-key and in our opinion the better for it. The feeding is much closer to the hides and there are less birds, around a hundred, which makes the photographic experience slightly easier.
Needless to say, conditions were against us again. So we decided to delay our return on Monday, when the forecast was for unbroken sunshine, to have another try. Sadly it was no better, probably worse, but we had fun trying. Red Kites are still unfinished business, but we feel this site is just about achievable as a day trip when the weather is set fair.
