I went along to one of the photography days at The Hawk Conservancy Trust last week. To be honest I didn't know what to expect as it's not the sort of thing I normally shoot. (I'm more likely to be hanging around the TP sports forum than in here) But it's definitely good to go mix things up now and again, as I found out as we got started on Thursday!
To cover all bases though I did the usual, and took all the stuff I could carry (not the best idea when you're walking around the whole day). I still wasn't prepared for how bloody fast those things can move though! That peregrine in particular is amazing as is the silent grace of the owls. A return trip just for the 2pm flying display is definitely in order.
I'm still crunching through ~1100 images and digging out the best ones. All in all though a recommended day out as the staff were great and the birds themselves are stunning. In the meantime here's a few that've made it through so far. (The full set is gradually growing over on Flickr)
1. Tawny Owl
2. Young Bateleur Eagle
3.Peregrine
4. Peregrine
5. Barn Owl
