We've been out today (well, it is a bank holiday!) to Mid-Wales, a lovely little Red Kite feeding station not far from Welsh Framing Supplies....
They came in waves of about 50 or so a time, probably saw 200+ over the couple of hours we were there! I wish I had an SLR digicam with BIG lenses, the best mine could do on a zoom was this
I did have a closer shot but it was moving too darn quick to focus on.
We took the journey home via the Wye Valley, some stunning scenery on the reservoir roads, but I seem to suffer from always having an impatient asshole behind me when I'd like to stop and take photos! By the time you get to a passing point to let them through it's too much trouble to try and get back to where you were. We did stop off at a couple of the dams though
Of course you can't have a Wales trip without sheep!
They were all over the road - literally! Couldn't go 200ft without having to go round one. Turned one bend to see a lamb lying in the middle of the road, the wife thought it had been run over. As we slowly approached, it got up and ran to mammy - it was just doing what the cat in my avatar used to do - enjoy the heat from the sun-baked tarmac!
Wales is amazing - from desolate wastelands to lush forests and back again all in the space of ten miles.
The camera was a Canon A640, but some of the pics have had to be scaled back as the provider I've used (
www.xs.to) have a 256kb file limit.
