    Smile Falconry Display

    I visited the Shropshire Game and Country Fair a couple of weeks ago and took these shots of the display. I photoshopped the field jesses and wire telemetry out as they looked awful, dangling off the birds legs. Cheating I know but what the heck!

    No Tami, just a spectator unfortunately. The 4th bird is a Gyr Falcon which is almost as big as a Red-tailed Hawk. Had to wait for ages for her to turn round and give me a good profile. Thanks
