This
event was very well attended and attracted much interest. The Harris Hawk
demonstrated its flying skills at regular intervals. The beautiful soft
feathered Barn Owl was very tame and just loved to be stroked. Stroking it
was very popular with the children. The kestrel was a rescued bird and
could only be viewed as its temperament was not suitable for handling.
Many thanks to Ralph for providing this attraction and thanks to the
organisers and helpers who made this event so successful.
