A day out with some big birds….and some tiny ones

I was gifted a falconry experience for my last birthday. Here’s some pictures and videos of my day.

Last November i hit the 60yr target, and was gifted the present of a falconry experience at a location close to home in the Langton area of Market Harborough in Leicestershire.

We chose a pretty good day as we weren’t affected by the awful weather of the last few days. Once the day had ended though the heavens did open again. We struck lucky. Here are a few pictures and videos from today’s day with some of the most gorgeous creatures on the planet.

Some beautiful birds

And here are a few small videos….

Elvis, a Eurasian eagle owl
Elvis, dive bombing the group
Midnight, a Harris hawk, what a bird
Cheese and pickle, two tiny burrowing owls

A fantastic day at close quarters with some beautiful birds of prey.

Thanks for passing by.
