The falconry exhibition at Scone

This is the Indian-Eagle Owl, from the falconry exhibition at the Scone Game Fare on Friday. The exhibition was super, although they had a bit of difficultly as both the kestrel and the fish tailed eagle refused to come back and stayed out way longer than they should have! The falconer was most embarrassed!

After the display I went to chat with the falconers and asked about the missing birds. The eagle was back home, having hung out in a tree for a while, and the kestrel had been found, but had flown across the river and it was taking ages to get to her as the bridge for the vehicle crossing was miles away. An eventful exhibition for them, I suspect!

A great owl portrait. Must get to another similar exhibition but unfortunately Ray has a phobia about these birds flying over!

[Shanne]

what a great eagle portrait - a bit sad that they lost, albeit temporarily, a couple of birds

[Diana]

What a stunner, fabulous close up of this beautiful owl. I love the plumage!

[Babs]

What a great shot. I suppose even wild birds can get sick of performing and need a break occasionally

[Valerie Chesney]

Clever bird gone home…he was probably fed up with all the staring eyes! Poor chap….I bet his heart was racing! The eyes have it here, such a penetrating look!

Beautiful close-up- the eyes are captivating! Poor falconers- you'd like say, "Well, they'll come home when they're hungry, but I'm sure those birds know how to hunt! Great shot.
