Kite country

The welsh valleys ring out with the distinctive calls of the red kite. Once persecuted by gamekeepers and farmers, red kites are now thriving across large parts of the country. Scavengers by nature, they scour the hills for wildlife and livestock casualties. Today's more tolerant attitude towards birds of prey - and in particular feeding them in winter - has helped save these birds from extinction.
