(One of those kites on the link must have been a crossbreed between a kite and giraffe).

The heron waited an hour or so until the 100 or more kites and many buzzards, rooks,crows, and ravens had fed then helped itself to the beef scraps. It was certainly having trouble keeping it's head down earlier Very Happy

Hi antnjac I have an almost copy of that image taken last year at the same place (top right hand corner of the field) the Heron was very nervous and stayed back for a long time.
I have now identified a bird I saw the other day, I didn't recognise the outline until I saw a link to an Osprey with a mullet in its grasp. was it your photo ?

Hi Biglol, there is a picture from last year in my album of an Osprey carrying a Grey Mullet . The Osprey flew over the RSPB hide at Pont Croesor quite low, by the time i'd ran to the van for my camera it had caught a thermal and soared to a good hight for an easy glide to it's nest. At the time it was hunting to feed the family.

The pair is back in the Glaslyn Valley and good news there are 3 eggs again this year.
