BIRDS OF SNOWDONIA
The Red Kite The Red Kite is very rare in Great Britain. We are very lucky to have lots in Wales, especially in Snowdonia. We have even seen one over the school at Bodafon. The Red Kite flies at a great height and it uses thermals to soar in the sky. It eats dead things, we call this carrion.
	The Peregrine The Peregrine is a large falcon. It nests on cliffs. The peregrine is a very strong bird. It fly's really fast to catch their prey. This picture was taken near a school in Penrhyn Bay.The peregrine eats small birds. If we are lucky we will see a Peregrine Falcon, but some times we see a Peregrine Falcon chasing a small bird.
The Ring Ouzel Ring Ouzels go to Africa in the winter.In Summer they visit the high crags of Snowdonia. They look like our common blackbird but have a white neck, they are sometimes called the 'Mountain Blackbird'. They arrive in Britain in early March.
