Silent killer

Postby 61_OTU » Mon Sep 03, 2007 5:37 pm

This may not be what you were imagining, but here are some shots from Paradise Park in Hayle in Cornwall. It is a bird park which interestingly was founded by the man who gave us The Milkybar Kid

In flight, their magnificent Eagle Owl, silent and swift
Image

Completely unruffled by the large crowd, and a great performer in this open flying display, the handler was superb
Image

Right between the lines of the crowd, it could pass within inches of you and you wouldn't know thanks to the near silent flight
Image

Just a shot for scale, we may not feature in the Eagle Owl food chain, but it's still a bird you wouldn't want to upset too much, look at the size of those claws
Image

Great fun.......
