Some lovely birds

While having a schneck through Christopher's Flickr site to find the pheasant piccie, I came across these and thought I would share them. They were at a Harley Davidson rally that takes place every year at Aviemore.

That owl is just beautiful

Beautiful pictures.

I love the Eagle. They usually have such stern faces but this one looks really benign.

My Hupersons go camping in mid-Wales in summer, where there are lots of red kites. One time my Humum was riding her motorbike on a mountainside road, and one came up from the valley below and kept alongside her for ages

Such beautiful and elegant creatures.

I'd still run and hide if I saw the shadow of one on the ground though....

When Christopher was about 10 he loved bird watching and we took him to Wales and went to a Kite Feeding station. They were just magical.

But you are right Sparky, you hide under your hutch when there is a scary bird shape or the chance of a jab in the bum!

Did you see this story today?

I'm glad you said it first, it made me smile too

My phone won't let me watch

Bad phone. It's such a beautiful picture. The best picture I have ever seen!

Its been a pain in the ass all day. I don't get it, it's a new phone, the software is up to date....

Maybe it's having a delayed Monday

Or it's a public sector phone going off early!
