There was a Falconry display in Roberts Park. It's lovely to see these magnificent birds close up. I'm afraid I didn't take note of the team running the exhibit. There are a few local falconry centres. I'll hazard a guess that this is the team from the Shibden Valley Falconry in Halifax. They had a kestrel (above), owls, a hawk and a couple of gyr/saker cross falcons, all beautiful birds. I think falconry centres usually have rescued birds that could not be released into the wild.
They are beautiful, and have amazing abilities.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun encounter with these birds!
ReplyDeleteFabulous photos of these beautiful birds.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful creatures! This makes me want to re-read THE ONCE AND FUTURE KING, just for the section where Merlin turns the young Arthur into a hawk.
