Red Kites, Red Kites and More Red Kites

I spent most of half term holiday at my Grandma's in North Wales. She lives in a valley with a river running through it and it's great for all sorts of wildlife and den building, but more about that to come in another blog. 

On the way back from RSPB Conwy, we were driving along the country roads when we suddenly spotted a group of Red Kites soaring above a grassy green hill. We pulled off the road onto a track, stopped and spent the next few hours flying with 13 mesmerising Red Kites (well it felt like I was flying with them).

No more words needed. I hope you enjoy the pictures. If you click on the pictures they do go bigger.
