We called at the International Centre for Birds of Prey on the way back from Wales. It is situated near Newent and has a very extensive collection of raptors. They have a very good record for breeding from their captive birds including a Golden Eagle.
Visit their website (www.icbp.org) to learn more about the Centre.
These two peregrine pictures were taken during one of their flying displays - I love the graphic nature of the images - remind me of the paintings in the Thorburn bird books that I have treasured since I first became interested in bird watching.
The Yellow-billed kite image isn't unfortunately very sharp but I was so amazed by the Concorde impersonation that I have shared it on my blog

Hello Ann. Watching your blog regularly. I love these images and agree they are very "Thorburnish". I am not a wildlife photographer but greatly appreciate the efforts of those who are.
