Although not a great pic this is my favourite. "Scrumpy" followed the guy everywhere, like a puppy, he was hand reared and thinks "Andy" is his mummy!

Is it a black kite?

Stunning pictures Dawn.

[dandysmom]

Incredible pics, Dawn! You are so talented with that camera, and stunning subjects. I've always admired raptors; what is the last one?

[Grete]

Gorgeous pics, love the one of Scrumpy running after his 'mummy' ;)

[smudgley]

Wonderful pictures Dawn. Is it worth a visit to the place? I drive through Hagley most days and didn't know it was there :oops: I might take the girls there for a day out one day.

[borderdawn]

Thanks all.

The last one is a Harris Hawk (I think!)

Yes Smudgley it is worth a visit, its only small but all the birds are close and they fly several birds free from 1pm every day, its behind a large garden centre with some great stuff in it too.
Dawn.

Oh ******, I thought that it was a Harris Hawk and Graham said no it was a black kite:evil: :lol:

[borderdawn]

LOL @ Elaine!
