Thanks Bob, I've never seen them out and about, but they're quite common in bird of prey centres. This one (R2... we'll see his brother D2 later) was the one I took on a hawk walk with the falconer and his dog, the first time me and Mrs PB went there years ago. He also flew his owls at Longleat during the Festival of Light for a few years.
