I went to an event at Hampton Court over the weekend. They had a demonstration of falconry. After chatting to the falconry club I was allowed into the enclosure. Here's some of the pics I got. I'm sure someone will be able to tell me exactly what types they are.

This bird was apparently called Cyril :-)

    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!"

    Nice portraits. That last pic looks like a Harris's Hawk. They are known as good falconry bird.
