  3. Great photographs Alan. Magnificent birds. The Wedge-tailed Eagle looks like he'd weigh a lot.
    Nice to see the Kestrel too.

  4. Thanks, ladies.

    My favourite was Casper the Barn Owl, but only because he was such a character. Apparently, he's starred in films and televison adverts.

  5. Gorgeous images of these birds, Alan. However ... I always feel bad about how they are tranined out of their brains for us really dumb humans.

  6. I'm with you, Julie. I abhor birds being kept in captivity, and that includes canaries in cages. The birds at Raptor Domain, though, are all rescue birds (hit by cars etc) and most are released back into the wild when they're fit.
