📍 Gigrin Farm Red Kite Feeding Station - Rhayader, Wales.

Last weekend I was incredibly lucky to photograph the Red Kites at the feeding station in Rhayader.

It was a surreal experience to say the least! I've never seen so many birds in one place! I highly recommend a visit, the staff are lovely, everything is well organised, and I suggest booking a bird hide for the best views. I was situated in the Tower Hide, which gave me access to high up views along with head on views.

I'm over the moon with the photos I captured. I hope you enjoy!

Osprey at Rutland Water.

The first time in years I tried my hand at some wildlife photography at both Egleton & Lyndon Nature Reserves at Rutland Water.

I was incredibly lucky to see one of the resident Ospreys on the hunt for some food. They hadn't been out of their nest all day and weren't showing any signs of needing food, one of the guides said. I headed on down to the Shallow Water hide, and set up in the top level to get the best vantage point.

I didn't have to wait too long before one of them took to the sky in search of some food in the water below. After circling around for a little while, and after a few dives farther away, the Osprey came in closer which allowed me to get this shot.

I am over the moon to say the least!

Silent Lightning ⚡

Following on from my previous post, As the storms pushed Southeast at sunset, something incredible happened.

A lightning storm, likely over 15 miles away, was lit up by the setting sun. This created something I have never been lucky enough to witness before! It was absolutely surreal, there was absolutely no sound of the lightning striking, just complete silence.

Nothing short of spectacular!

Edge Of The Storm ⛈️

The build up to the storms on the evening of 26th May, gave us some incredible sights I've never witnessed before.

The clouds started off in their Cumulus phase, quickly transforming into Cumulus Congestus, which ultimately transformed into fully developed Cumulonimbus clouds. Safe to say I was stunned at the rate these clouds changed and developed!

Being on the edge of the storm was an unreal experience, seeing the clouds roll across and burst up into the sky upwards of 40,000 to 50,000ft was breathtaking!
