Hi,

I went down to The hawk Conservancy in Andover today for my prize in a photography competition. I managed to meet up with some folks from some other forums while I was there. I had a lovely day. here's a couple of snaps - first ones off the camera...

I will process more, but I am away for a week from tomorrow, so they may have to wait.

Cheers

Wow! Beautiful animals. I especially love the owl, it's like lookin back at you and the whole wing spread is awesome. Great Stuff!
