Red-Tailed Hawk

Hook, England

We spent a wonderful day with a Falconer, looking at his birds and watching what they do.  Did you know that birds do not poop in their nests?  They find a tree and that becomes their poop tree and you know this because it is covered in white.  I thought that was amazing.  Each bird is unique and awesome to watch.  Here the Red-tailed Hawk is flying, I love taking photos of birds as they fly!

Bengor Eagle Owl

Hook, England

We spent sometime with a falconer, Simon and it was so enjoyable!  This owl was beautiful.  Abby, was raised by a 6 year old girl and she loves to cuddle. When she was on anyone’s arm (they had a thick glove on) she would move up close to their body.  It was fun to watch their interaction as she would look into their eyes.  Doesn’t she have beautiful eyes?!?!

Kestrel

Hook, England

We went out into the English country and had a lovely time.  We were actually between Hook and Dogmersfield, in Hampshire.  We had a falconer, Simon who showed us his birds and what they do.  This Kestrel was so pretty!

Horse and Duck

Hook, England

We went out into the countryside and saw lots of animals; cows, horses, ducks, and even some that we don’t know what they were. This duck and horse were drinking together when the duck decided to waddle away. So, I watched and at the right moment when he was between the horses legs, I snapped this photo.
