    It is located up a half mile dirt track, which isn't a problem. What was a problem is that it has clearly been closed for some time and nobody bothered to put anything on the direction signs to notify us of that

    A special journey only to find that it was closed and no feeding was taking place. As the country has opened up from bird flu, this was so disappointing.

    As usual the Tollie Red Kites did not disappoint. Thank you to the band of volunteers that make it possible.

    There were 12 Red Kites when we visited. Feeding lasts around 20 minutes and you can sit inside or stand outside. Volunteers are very knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions you have. Best to check Facebook for the latest updates on feeding times.
