Argaty Red Kites

Argaty Red Kites is a bird watching centre that gives you a unique chance to get close to these exciting birds and learn more about them.

The aim of the project at this farm is to increase the number of kites in the wild, so feeding is minimal but there is always a good view of them whether they are perching, flying or feeding. It is very rare for visitors not to see any birds, although you normally see larger numbers of them during the winter.

There is an easily accessible hide to watch from and you can even bring your dog, provided other guests don't object and that you clear up after them. A ranger led visit to the hide at feeding time is available on most days, which gives you a chance to ask some questions about the birds and their habitat.

Binoculars are available in the hide and there are plenty of chances to take some great pictures. The family in charge of this station are doing great work for the kite population and are full of knowledge that they love to share.

Booking ahead is essential to avoid disappointment!
