As the pandemic lockdown eases in Wales, the famous Gigrin Farm Red Kite Feeding Centre, is ready to open again on 18 July after implementing social distancing measures in the hides and visitor centre. Visitors are now able to book online to see the birds at the Powys farm which is endorsed by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. Wild red kites are fed everyday of the year by farmer Chris Powell and has continued throughout the COVID-19 lockdown.. In the 1970's the population of the bird of prey dropped to only 30 but a sustained conservation project by Chris Powell and his team has been a massive success with up to 500 red kites visiting each afternoon creating an aerobatic spectacle as the birds swoop for morsels of beef.
