Sunday Pics - here be birds...
3 Oct 2010 07:30 pmI've been home from North Yorkshire for a week - and have just about finished sorting out my pictures.
We spent some time on the Friday of our holiday at the Yorkshire Dales Falconry Centre - where they have not only falcons, but eagles, vultures, owls...
It was a very windy day, and we worried in case the birds wouldn't be flying, but fortunately they were - even if not very far in some cases! I took a lot of pictures, including the one I think may be the best one I have ever taken, and also got to wear the glove and 'fly' one of the birds.
( Meet Wesley, and Willow, Harry and Vera... )
Definitely somewhere worth a visit if you are ever in the vicinity - totally recommend it.
We also travelled on the famous Settle to Carlisle railway line - so there are a few more pictures yet - but I'll leave those for another day.
