Jess and I both had the weekend off, so we decided to head up to mid Wales for a few days. With the exception of a Firecrest (which I hope is still around), I didn't miss any valuable year ticks whilst holidaying. Phew!
We stayed in Builth Wells, at a beautiful farm house B and B. This is looking inside to our room...

And this is looking out from our room...

| Also at dusk. What a view! |
Twice I could see Red Kites circling whilst lying in bed, and we just couldn't get over how stunning the view was.
Being in mid Wales, there was somewhere I just had to take Jess - lover of Buzzards and big birds of prey...
 |
| Gigrin Farm |
We must have seen at least 350 Red Kites here. Always a spectacle. Another place I just had to take Jess was up the Elen Valley (no that isn't a euphemism!)...

We were home mid afternoon, and tomorrow I look forward to some patch birding. And hopefully some patch year ticks!!
