Back in November my friend Rich and myself took a trip to mid Wales, to the Red Kite feeding station at Gigrin Farm, Rhayader. For this visit we decided to use the big tower hide for the first time. The beauty of being higher up gives you the ability to take shots with trees or grass as a background, rather than the sky. It does make it a bit trickier to lock the focus on the bird though, but I think the results are far better.
