Owls , Falcons and Hawks at Ordsall Hall

Today was the birthday Fete of Ordsall Hall Salford .It was also amazing weather so I was driven there .Walking around was not much of an option  but these wonderful birds all of which have been rescued were there and kept me fascinated. Superbly looked after, they had terrific rapport with the handlers . My time was spent sitting watching the grace of such and learning a lot from the handlers .In the background was good music .Lots of food and drink , raffles and such. My pal won two beautiful cuddly tigers. / see extra . I got the name of the firm who make lower  legs protection pads for the police lol Even got to try some on .My favourite colour , black, they could prove chic .Re collage.
