Grey Owl and Black Kite

[Matt-P]

I had my first trip to Knowsley Safari Park yesterday where there was a bird of prey flying display. There were a lot of misses but here's the best of the shots, four being my personal favourite.

1. Black Kite

2. Black Kite

3. Grey Owl

4. Grey Owl

Any feedback gratefully recieved

#2 my favorite - so graceful.

Thanks squizz, they were amazing to see. Very greaceful when soaring, but capable of incredible aerobatics (none of which came out!) when trying to get their food.

Thanks Jockwav, agree with you on number 4, the owl put on an amazing display, nearly hitting my head at one point
