Just back from a day's falconry with my father, which I can highly recommend. Falconry, that is, not spending the day with my father.

Got to handle the birds (Harris Hawks) all day long, including an afternoon out in the hills hunting for rabbits and the like. We were unsuccessful despite a couple of good attempts from the birds. Very enjoyable experiencing these birds close up and in a natural environment.

Here are a couple of pics:

Great fotos Alan. I had a day at Bracko with these birds for my Xmas from my wife a couple of years ago. Brilliant day out - the birds are beautiful to watch.

cool!
