The Raptor Foundation, St Ives, Cambridgeshire

Mike, our son, sent me these pics and said I could post them on this site.

The family had a great day at the Raptor Centre, with Amy (now 8) getting to grips with a Barn Owl. Jack (4 next week) did not handle the Barn Owl - possibly best for all concerned!;)

The bird with the jesses may have been a Lanner Falcon/other, I know you'll recognise the Barn Owl and the Bald Eagle, but am not sure what the 'Funky bird' is!;)

While they were there, a wild Buzzard and a Carrion Crow had a bit of an altercation above them - thus the last shots!:)

Brilliant shots and looks like a great day out, must get down to one of the BOP centres soon.:)
