And Finally

Sunday 18.2.19

The Peregrine unlike the two owls previous is a bundle of energy, initially placed on the Pigeon it rips into the carcass scattering feathers all over the place, best get the shots now before it all starts to look a bit gruesome.

Next the falcon is introduced to the second set with a carcass of a Red-legged Partridge and a sprig of heather to replicate moorland. The camera shutters are relentless, clicking and clacking with the best images to be had when the falcon is plucking the carcass. All too soon my memory card is full again, the second time in this session.

So that's my first managed photo session using falconry birds of prey, in some ways its not unlike my visit some time back to the Bird of Prey Centre at Newent, but this is more tailor made suitable for bird photography.

Would I recommend it...the answer is yes, it gives you the opportunity to concentrate developing your photography skills at the same time getting images of pristine birds that otherwise would be difficult in the wild....now when's the next session !
