About
This new experience will celebrate the natural heritage of Co. Down, and remind us of the ways in which people interact with nature, and the fundamental need to preserve the balance of the two.
Conducted at the Red Kite Retreat, Ireland's only Red Kite feeding station, situated in the beautiful Co. Down countryside . Along side the viewing of these majestic birds in flight at feeding time, we will view some of the current works being taken to plant native trees (and perhaps even help plant a few more). Visitors are advised to bring along their binoculars and cameras, and wear suitable outdoor footwear.
Hear about the local history of the area, story of the extinction of the Red Kites and the successful reintroduction project in Northern Ireland and all about the various native trees being planted at the site.
View these majestic Red Kites soar at close quarters, at feeding time from the bird hide at the Red Kite Retreat feeding station.
A warm welcome will be provided, as well as tea and coffee and light refreshments, either in the bird hide or at picnic tables overlooking the countryside.
The experience will last around 90 mins.
