    Default 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!
