点评:We have been here many times and it is always a treat.
This is a working farm with a love for nature.
The farmer has been feeding the red kites for many years, and only feeds them roadkill, which local authorities bring to them. They are fed at 3pm every day during winter, but alter by an hour in spring, as the kites haven't got wrist watches!
The building is light and airy, the balcony outside a good size. You can buy hot drinks and snacks and there are gifts to purchase.
But where this place beats all the other red kite feeding stations, including Gigrin in Wales, is the close proximity city to the kites. For a good hour or more before feeding, the kites begin to gather, soaring low over the area and sitting in the trees. They are so low it's unbelievable.
Once the farmer walks out to feed them, all hell breaks out. As they scatter the food, the kites begin swooping down to grab the food, literally feet from you. It is an amazing experience, we have seen as many as 400 kites on one of our visits.
Well worth the trip, and very reasonable entry price, March 2026 the cost is £7.50 per person. So for £20 you can get entry for two plus a mug of tea each. And you can spend hours here.
翻译:我们来过这里很多次,每次都觉得很愉快。
这是一个热爱自然的农场。
农场主多年来一直喂养红鸢,只喂它们路边被撞死的动物,这些动物都是当地政府送来的。冬天每天下午3点喂食,春天则提前一个小时,因为红鸢可没有手表!
农场建筑明亮通风,外面的阳台也很大。你可以买到热饮、小吃和纪念品。
但这个地方胜过其他所有红鸢喂食点,包括威尔士的吉格林,是因为它离城市很近。喂食前一个小时甚至更久,红鸢就开始聚集,低空盘旋在空中,栖息在树上。它们飞得那么低,简直难以置信。
一旦农场主走出来喂食,场面就热闹起来了。农场主撒下食物后,红鸢们便开始俯冲下来抢食,离你只有几英尺远。这是一次令人惊叹的体验,我们曾有一次看到多达400只风筝。
非常值得一去,而且门票价格也很合理。2026年3月,门票价格为每人7.50英镑。也就是说,只需20英镑,您就可以获得两人门票,外加每人一杯茶。而且您可以在这里消磨好几个小时。
