It was a beautiful day in a lovely location, the sun shining and the sky cloudless. I hope I remember the names of the birds correctly. Norfolk Wild Encounters do a great job rescuing, rearing and rehabilitating these amazing creatures.
Above is a baby Eagle Owl, hand reared and very friendly.
The photos below are of a Tawny Owl.
The Harris Hawk didn’t seem in the mood for flight and spent his time running along the ground after a couple of half-hearted attempts to get airborne.
Didn’t quite master the settings for the Barn Owl in flight. This was the best of a bad bunch.
I think this is a young Horned Owl
The Raven posed for his close up.
A tiny Burrowing Owl
The Kestrel resting after flight and a cute youngster.
And the Buzzard
Last but not least the majestic and mesmerising Great Grey Owl.
Wow! Fab photos Cathy 🙂
