I'd love to do something like this, but a bit skint at the mo, so not sure if I can justify it, lol....

will have a ponder

(PS, cool pics, Paul )

Great pics, now I know thats a Barn owl, a great grey owl and I think the fourth one is a Harris Hawk but whats the third one? It looks like some kind of falcon, maybe a lanner or lagger?

[mort666]

we did have a harris hawk on the day, and I have a though coming from the depths of my memory (it was a while ago) that it was a red kite, or red tailed kite (if there is a difference).

I'm just going from memory though, sorry

I've received confirmation of my booking.

Won't say 'I can't wait', cos most of my holiday will be gone by then and I only finished work today!! I'm really looking forward to it though

[mort666]

All booked up and paid for now

Paul, Ben and I went to Burghley House on Tuesday and had a great time. These are a few of my favourites from the day.

Barn Owl





Harris Hawk



Buzzard

some lovely pics there Pat (but I can see the PhotoShopping!)

I haven't looked at my pics yet so cannot offer to post any od my examples

priceless moment was when the falconer said that 'the buzzard in the grass looked good because it looked like a buzzard in the grass'
(I knew what he meant - it looked natural)

...... and you will prove I've photoshopped them when you post some with the rope attached

edit - the ones of the barn owl have only had the levels adjusted, nothing more

some nice shots there Pat, from what was a difficult (at times), but fun day.

Just working my way through a couple of hundred bike pictures before I start looking at the BoP ones

they will appear at some point in the next few days though

Lovely pics, Pat! I especially like the Barn Owl in the grass, but then I have a weak spot for these birds.

I don't attach rope to my pics

Thanks, Mikey. It was great to have so many attempts at getting half decent shots of flying birds - something you can't do at a flying display.

[mort666]

I've finally got round to sorting through my pictures and playing about with them. For some of the flying shots I actually decided to bother with trying to clone the majority of the strings out. Pretty pleased with the results

Gallery is here:
LINKY

and here are some piccies....enjoy

[Midnight Blue]

Great shots, Paul

It was a good day out

[mort666]

Thanks Pat. really enjoyed it too. I fancy doing one of the courses with the other guy next year perhaps. see how the two of them compare etc

[BenF]

count me in, Paul!

some great shots there - I reckon I ought to learn how to use Photoshop, too!

edited cos I have no memory and cannot spel

and me .... as long as it is in school holidays of course.

[mort666]

only slowly learning here myself. It's only the second set of pictures I've bothered using the cloning on up to now.

when the dates come out for 2009 I might book a couple not perhaps so much for tuition, but the access to the animals/birds is really good

[Midnight Blue]

That's why I booked up .... plenty of opportunities to get it right
