You lucky person! I've travelled to and through mid Wales many times

If you are ever in the Rhayder area around 2.00pm (3.00pm in summer) you
can hardly fail to mis them. There is a feeding station on the A470,
just south of the town, and they get around 100 there each day.

Another interesting place to see them is in Oxforshire, around Didcot.
Son-in-law counted 13 a little while back, just circling over the houses
to the west of the town.


I suppose they are a branch of the older-established population always
to be seen as the M40 goes through the Chilterns?
