Red kites at Gigrin farm

As I will not be traveling until June, I thought I would upload images up from a few of my favourite days out. I was invited to go to Gigrin farm in Wales - www.gigrin.co.uk with friends Pauline and Glynis. It is about 2 hours drive and for once, I was a passenger. I like driving but it is nice to have a change. We stopped for coffee on the way at Llanwenarth Hotel (www.llanwenarthhotel.com and saw bullfinches in the garden. I would recommend this hotel for a short stay - it had beautiful views. Arrived at the farm about 1.30pm and went to the Gateway hide. It cost £10 and along with the other hides, provides a great view of the kites. We had plenty of time to practice our photography. Unfortunately, none of mine are sharp but they give you a good idea of what you can see. We left at 5.30 pm and stopped off for a meal on the way home. We spotted a beautiful double rainbow in one of three heavy showers.
