Seen at the Thorp Perrow falconry centre; Cleo. This bird can take a lamb, small deer or even a small child (!) and has a grip capable of crushing a limb.

My "views" topped 50,000 yesterday so a great big 'thanks' to everyone out there who has stopped by - especially those who leave comments - over the past year or so. I hope my shots have given you some pleasure? I have enjoyed taking them and sharing them too...
Have a great Spring....

April 2007
The vision of its founder, Thorp Perrow Arboretum makes a wonderful day out in the Yorkshire Dales.
The Arboretum is one of the finest private collections of trees and shrubs in the country. This 85 acre arboretum is unique to Britain, if not Europe, in that it was the creation of one man, Colonel Sir Leonard Ropner (1895 - 1977) and is now owned and managed by Sir John Ropner.

Although there are millions of dafs at Thorp Perrow, I have added a layer of 'extra' flowers to the lower third of this shot.
