I had some time of work and some really gorgeous weather, So I thought why not take my motorbike out and go for a ride. Then the idea hit me to grab my cameras, as I had hardly used them of late. And worse I haven't had much time of late to get on here to catch up on stuff, so I headed out Stow on the wold way. Then I stopped of at the Falconry centre which is in the grounds of Batsford arboretum, a very nice place to visit and the staff I thought were very friendly. I even had the chance to have a couple of the owls land on my arm which was the highlight of the day, I plan to go back soon.
I am by no means an expert in this area of photography, and I am still getting to grips with my Nikon D610, But I enjoyed my day and i hope you will like the photos I add to this thread.

Your shots, Mandy, of the Bald eagle are
quite impressive and their rendition too
after highlights recovery.
…and the claws…:eek:

An easy job to replace the hut by a forest
or something…
 
Beautiful birds. I've seen the Bateleur in the wild and they are a super impressive bird. That's an immature so be great to go back and snap it in a year.

It is a good place, I really did enjoy myself. I plan to go back soon 1. to get more practice at birds in flight and 2 I want to do the flying start and get to know a bit more about the birds.
 
I did a hands on day some years back. Feeding and flying ect, most enjoyable.

Nice images (y)
