Well they don't belong to me but I spent a day flying and feeding these awesome creatures.Hopefully one day I'll maybe get to fly a Hobby which is a dream of mine. 8)Sorry for pictures but they were scanned from a disposable as forgot mine Embarassed

I'm guessing you all know what they are,it's an Eurasian barn owl and not the UK species,the colouring is a lot more intense on them which surprised me. Shocked

Good to see Thomas! Stick to it, I remember our chat before.

I spent a lot of time in the past ferreting for rabbits, about 25 years actually! And hence got the chance to ferret to various Raptors on a good few occasions. If you are serious, go for the Harris Hawk route. They can be flown weekends only and are really user friendly.

Nice pics. Wink
