We would rather people come to see the bird at feeding stations than go tramping through the countryside looking for their nests and eggs Tony Cross, Welsh Red Kite Trust   Introduction Llanddeusant Red Kite Feeding Station was opened in the summer of 2002 by a local partnership with support from the Brecon Beacons National Park, the Welsh Red Kite Trust and various other notable wildlife organisations and individuals. The centre is designed to fit naturally into the landscape and to provide bird lovers the ideal opportunity to witness Red Kites, Buzzards and other birds feeding. Visitors may sit in the specially built hide only feet away from diving birds and observe them competing naturally for the meat provided by the feeding centre at regular times throughout the year. Around 50+ birds may be seen gathering before the feed, soaring high into the sky until they start diving onto their food. As natural scavengers Red Kites benefit from the food provided and the way in which it is made available in limited quantities. There is no doubt that this regular feeding has helped the Red Kite breeding population maintain it's stronghold in the Llanddeusant and surrounding area and, indeed, increase its numbers. In Wales 20 years ago there were less than 30 breeding pairs of Kites but now, with careful management and protection, there are over 300 pairs ! | Introduction | Location | Feeding Times | Bookings | Gallery | Accommodation | Webmaster |
