Bird Watching

The star for bird-watchers in Mid Wales has to be the legendary Red Kite. Persecuted almost to extinction, this wonderful bird now soars proudly above the mountains and valleys of Mid Wales. Y Barcud Coch (this is Welsh for Red Kite) is only one of many rare and beautiful birds to delight the keen ornithologist. Look out for Goshawks, Buzzards, Owls, Ravens and Falcons not to mention the many species of water birds and waders.

The best place to see the Red Kite is at the Bwlch Nant yr Arian Visitor Centre , where you can watch the birds being fed daily at 3pm. There are a number of nesting boxes in the nearby forest, and a video link to the visitor centre shows the activity in these as the parent birds raise their chicks.
