EDIT::..I spent Saturday at the Sufolk Owl Sanctuary [link] ,on a photography day that Dawn and the Kids got for me as a birthday prezzie .
Prepare to have your inboxes filled with Raptor shots as i have 960 to look through!!!!!.
There were 6 of us doing the day,with professional photographer : Brian MacFarlane [link] to give advice and help and a falconer to handle the birds.
We got up-close and personal with a Buzzard,a Barn Owl,a Merlin and a Tawny Owl all of which we had great access to for pics ,plus watched all 3 of the days displays,it was a unique experience.

Plans afoot to visit some different zoos and castles - of course, they`ll be fishing forays too in there...

Unexpected shot as I was shooting this [link] I didn`t know Dawn took it until we got home and she showed the kids a pic of me in action...

Only needs ONE more fave to get to 50

has some gorgeous GIRAFFEs as her journal`s theme here [link]
Next time her theme is FROGs and mine will be WATERSCAPES - so if you have any faves in yours or a friends gallery let her have a link - only stipulation is that comments are answered...


As my theme this time - RAPTORs - Perhaps some of the best predators in the world...
As usual only feature peps who actually answer their comments, so go give them so dA love!
Some of these had NO comments until I let them know they`d been featured!!! Personally I just love comments, else what`s the point?
