CORNISH BIRDS OF PREY

On Thursday I visited the Cornish Bird of Prey centre at St Columb Major (See information on Side Bar) and had a really pleasant experience.

Needless to say I took loads of Photos (almost 300 ) which will take me a while to process and go through, so I will start with the images below and more of this great visit will appear in forthcoming posts.

Thanks to everyone for their wishes, I am feeling much better though still not 100% after two visits to the quack who diagnosed a throat virus which has to run its coarse. Its  the week of ear ache that's been the worse. (Ok snide comments allowed).




AMERICAN KESTREL.



PALE SCOPS OWL
