Apart from this Barn Owl I didn't manage to catch which raptors the others were:
I seem to remember this one is a Canadian Red Tailed Hawk:
Once again I used Photo Scissors to eliminate the background and added the colour in Serif Affinity Photo.
The onlookers were given a closer look at each of the birds in turn:
Stealing the limelight, though, was this baby:
I will have to make a visit to Rushmore Country Park, near Louth in Lincolnshire, to identify them. A visit has been on my Round Tuit list for years as it is less than four miles from home so I really must get round to visiting in the near future.
Great to see them, I quite liked the look of the babe.
ReplyDeleteAdrian: You were supposed to be concentrating on the one with white feathers ;)
DeleteBeautiful birds. I love the one sharing a secret.
ReplyDeleteLouth brought back memories. As a child my mother used to put me on Hudson's bus in Washingborough to go to Horncastle. There Mr Hudson would take me over the market square and put me on the Louth bus which went through Tetford where my uncle farmed. My aunt would be waiting at the bus stop and I would spend my holiday 'helping' on the farm. Happy memories. I think the Louth bus was owned by Wrights. I wonder if either bus company is still on the go after all these years.
Weaver: I found a few bits of information.

We have regular visits from Kilton Raptor Rescue here in Newark, the great grey and eagle owls being the big stars.
ReplyDeleteSimon. It's always great to see them close up.
