EDIT::..I spent Saturday at the Sufolk Owl Sanctuary www.the-owl-barn.com/bbop/inde… ,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 www.johnalbion.co.uk/macfarlan… 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 quaddie.deviantart.com/art/Ban… 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 in-the-picture.deviantart.com/…
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?

Rude Photographers..
Brace yourselves for the rant of the day!.
Dawn and I visited a local Country Park today,it has a recreation of an Anglo-Saxon village and are running their annual Ring Quest event(what can I say,we wanted pics of Orcs and Rangers)..https://www.facebook.com/weststow.
Anyway as we arrived in the busy carpark(remember that bit...the BUSY car park,,) we saw a group of Bird Photographers standing by their kit over the far side,my curiosity was piqued..what had brought them all here,what could possible be lurking in the carpark?..lots of lens envy for sure,so I thought I would go find out what the news was..maybe a very rare bird had decided to

Well what a coincidence, I spent Saturday at the Barn Owl Centre in Gloucestershire [link] Well some of Saturday, we arrived very late after a particularly leisurly lunch The BOC isn't a Falconry Centre either, its focus is Conservation too.
Only got a couple of shots myself this time. 960, you say...? I'll look forward to those.
Great feature by the way. Thanks for taking the trouble to put it together.
