Watch dozens of wild Red Kites swoop and soar at this dedicated feeding station, where visitors can enjoy a close-up view of one of Wales’ most iconic birds of prey.
Tucked away in the remote beauty of the western Brecon Beacons, the Red Kite Feeding Station at Llanddeusant offers a rare opportunity to witness these magnificent birds up close. From a purpose-built hide, visitors can watch as up to 50 or more Red Kites gather daily for feeding – an unforgettable sight as they circle, glide and dive for food.
This tranquil site is a must for birdwatchers, photographers and nature lovers. Informative staff are often on hand to answer questions, and the peaceful surroundings enhance the experience of observing these once-endangered birds in their natural habitat.
Feeding usually takes place in the afternoon, but it’s best to check ahead for times. The station is easily accessible by car and surrounded by scenic walking routes, making it a fantastic stop in rural Carmarthenshire.
