Barn Owl (Captive)

Stan

We went to The Cotswold Wildlife park with the children at the weekend. The bird of prey displays are always good to watch.

I love Barn owls, and to see one working at such close quarters is a real treat for me.

The bird hovered in a stiff breeze...


Then using one wing to keep its balance in the wind dropped to the ground to collect its reward


The other bird I watched was a Harris Hawk.



Which then landed on my daughters fist


A great day out

Thanks for looking

Looks liek a great day and you caught some good shots of it too.

Stan

Thanks Harry,
I like the Harris in flight but unfortunately there is nothing I can do about the background.

There was a Harris here for a few months, complete with jessies. It was great to watch but dissapeared as quickly as it arrived.

Very neat shots, Dan. I like the bird against the blue sky bg, but I enjoyed them all. The last one tells a story.
