A birthday treat from my wife - a day out with Wildlife photographer Alan Hewitt alanhewittphotography.co.uk/ and birds from Andy Howey's Bird of Prey Centre; Haggerston Castle, Northumberland. Photo-Set www.harrisonaphotos.co.uk/Landscapes/Birds-of-Prey-2018/
Thanks to Karen Stead-Dextet at Yarak Birds of Prey for a brilliant day being taught how to feed and these incredible birds.
I enjoyed myself so much on the first Introduction to Birds of Prey photograph that I decided to do it again. It was well worth it from my perspective so I hope that these shots reflect that. I tried to do slightly different things to last time and it helped that the barn owl was more co-operative this time with her flying.

A awesome day out at Gauntlets Birds of Prey Knutsford. Shame for the weather and i felt rough.
Taken a few years back and revisited. Flew directly over me whilst lying on my back, was about arms length and I felt the draft.
Not the best shots, not sure what type of bird they are. They didn't stop long enough for me to get a good look at them
.
I know its hard to make out the eaglets. They are sound asleep. The focus here is Dad. It is rare for him to be watching the kids over night. I guess mom needed a break. (Photoshop Art)

A Marabou Stork swooping in with a red winged blackbird on its back..
I think there was a red winged blackbird nest close by and this male blackbird was protecting his territory by attacking this giant Stork..
The wing span of this stork is about 8 feet..
The two Great Horned owlets were hiding on the opposite side of the nest from where they usually rest. The sun was shining brightly on their usual spot and I think they were just trying to stay in the little bit of shade available.
Just as I was getting ready to leave a red shouldered hawk decided to stop by and antagonize the owl's parents for a little while. As the hawk squawked loudly in the tree above the nest, I could here the parents hooting back and forth to each other. When the hawk got a little close to the nest mom swooped in from a near by tree and made her presence known. There was a brief squabble and the hawk retreated to the tree top and continued to disturb the peace. The two parents sat silently a few feet apart in the tree between the hawk and the nest. Dad seemed to completely ignore the hawk, but mom watched it....well, like a hawk... At one point the hawk swooped on the male and he never even flinched. Mom just sat and rotated her head so that she could keep a target lock on the intruder. Eventually the hawk gave up.
