Hawk on the Wild Side

[lathany]

Today I belatedly had my birthday present - A Hawk On The Wild Side experience. My half-day experience was great. We were able to handle five very different birds. The team told us all sorts of things about them ranging from their upbringings to how that species worked (or not) with others of their kind. Plus some fun facts, including the vulture that was a star at the Barbican, and how some phrases come from falconry (eg. under your thumb) and Shakespeare was fond of using them.



Whilst other people in the party would have kindly taken pictures with me and the birds, I was happy enough to leave the pictures to the birds.
