Hawk Conservancy Trust, Andover

Friday was my birthday, yes, hard to believe I've had more than 23 of them, I know, and as a treat Mrs PB arranged a trip here ( https://www.hawk-conservancy.org/ ), and also managed to arrange the weather to be absolutely glorious. I took over 2500 photos, so will break it down into 3 posts probably (not finished sorting the pics yet), as the day was centred around 3 flying displays, and then visiting the birds in their aviaries between shows. First up, described as "Wings Of Africa", preceded by a little wander around



We then mooched off for a bit of cake and a coffee, and a further wander through the aviaries, part 2 to follow

Well Happy Birthday PB!
Such amazing photography and over 2500 photos!
I hope that cute Robin keeps clear of those others and doesn't end up as lunch.
But these powerfull birds could really help me rid my garden of rats!

Some beautiful birds there including the mighty Robin. Some Of them I wouldn't associate with BOPs but it looks to be a good day out.

Thanks Charles... 2500 isn't always a good thing, it takes days to sort through lol. The Robin should be fine, as long as it stays with the Vultures!

Thanks Jack, it's an excellent day out, even without a camera. The way they do the flying displays is spectacular, you're never quite sure which way to look as so many birds fly simultaneously
