Limpy and I recently returned from a short break in mid-Wales - one of our ports of call, inevitably, was the red kite feeding station at Bwlch Nant yr Arian near Aberystwyth. It's fair to say that a LOT of kites were piling in for what was on offer:
What I initially took to be a herring gull turned out to be a yellow-legged!
The Five Red Kites of the Apocalypse ........ hmmmm. Not quite the same ring as the Four Horsemen.
I hope you all enjoy these.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.

Birding is for everyone no matter how good or bad we are at it,enjoy it while you can
Fabulous photos Clare, and I'm pleased you both had a fabulous day.
Thanks for sharing Clare.
I've lost track of who said what, but one thing I do recall, ice cream and chips vs gulls, well, if a gull, or any creature for that matter wants my ice cream, I'd hand it gladly to them, as I'm not a fan of ice cream or lollipops.....
Oh, and hail stones 6cms in diameter!
