Today's blog is going to be minimal text with loads of images showing some of our volunteers hard at work in the Nest Box Workshop, decorating our new office areas & out around the farm having some fun exercising a few of our birds. Today the birds exercised were Harris Hawks, Eagle Owl, European Buzzard & close to dark, the Barn Owl hence the grainy images.
The day was very productive indeed & very relaxed & most important an enjoyable long day. We hope you too enjoy the below images that were taken of the day. They are in no set sort order, enjoy anyway.
