years ago Gigrin Farm, mid-Wales, was just another upland sheep farm nestled high
above sea level in the Wye and Elan valleys. But today the farm is a popular
visitors' spot thanks to one of the largest populations of Red Kites in the UK. | |  | Farmlands are brilliant places to watch nature whether
it's the spectacles of birds feeding on the fields or deer in the dense cover
of wooded areas. | |  | - Farmlands offer amazing opportunities for
wildlife watching. Why not take a few tips from the Nature's Calendar team on
bird watching and deer spotting?
