A Few Images From A Visit To Birdworld Farnham
Had a good visit to this establishment and thought I would share some of the images with you.

This Heron usually roosts during the day and feeds at night ,hence it's name. They primarily eat small fish, crustaceans, frogs, aquatic insects, small mammals and small birds.
Image 2 - African Spoonbill (Platalea alba)

The species is widespread across Africa and Madagascar, including Botswana, Kenya, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe.
Image 3 - African Sacred Ibis (Threskiornis aethiopicus)

The Sacred Ibis breeds in sub-Saharan Africa, southeastern Iraq, and formerly in Egypt, where it was venerated and often mummified as a symbol of the god Thoth. It feeds on various fish, frogs, small mammals, reptiles and smaller birds as well as insects.
Image 4 - Bateleur (Terathopius ecaudatus)

The Bateleur eagle is a common resident species of the open savanna country in Sub-Saharan Africa, though it also occurs in south-west Arabia. The prey of this raptor is mostly birds, including pigeons and sandgrouse, small mammals; it also takes carrion.
Image 5 - Mandarin Duck (Aix galericulata)

How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
Thank you Harry - greatly appreciated
