Mid Wales Break!

Had a few days in Wales staying in Borth, near Aberystwyth.

On the way down stopped at Llyn Coed Y Dinas as there was reports of Great White Egrets:

Long way off - not my best quality but there one is - Great White Egret!
 
Bit of a Dull murky day - A Green Sandpiper cheered it up some: 



Checked out the Ynslas Peninsula & found some wheatears in the Beach Car Park, about 6 or so heading south Probably? - One or two were quite accommodating!





As the more local Forestry Commission Kite feeding station had a tree fungus problem, all paths were closed around the Kites area so ........ Had to go to Gigrin Farm.

Just get my big Wooden Spoon out (Allan)

 
Couple of Red Kites, but the sharp eyed (which isn't easy watching 300+ kites) person - looks out for opportunities of other Bird shots.
Ravens are bobbing about with 100's of Rooks:


Then there's a few more Kites:



& the Tourist Eagles! Well most Tourists think they are Eagles - The Buzzard!


 
& just for Allan - Even more Kites:


 
Anyone not been to a Kite Feeding Station - You are missing a great sight there can be up to 500 in the air around Gigrin, & if you fancy your skills - Just try Photographing them!
