Birds Flight shots from a Historic Falconry display.

[Uncle Kevriano]

As title, some favourites from a recent flying display we attended. I really can't fault the A7RIV on the day either, It can be great with BIF, and it has always been better at birds heading towards you. Lots of Harris Hawks, they are the most flown birds in displays in the UK.

I love falconry. The only time I saw it, was at Leeds Castle.
After seeing your pictures, I need to go back there.
Thanks for sharing.

Cheers all

A nice set of shots. The Harris Hawk is great to fly, I did a falconry course and was flying one there. The last bird I handled was a juvenile white tailed eagl, what a beast.

Wonderful pics. Barn Owl is my favourite.
