Photoshoot

This was a first for me: a photography day at the Liberty's raptor centre in Ringwood.  It was artificial, of course.  The birds (and reptiles and harvest mice and a huge spider) were out of their natural environment.  But you did see them without bars and with a professional photographer on hand to give advice.  It chucked it down with rain most of the day, but that actually gave us more variety, because we didn't just see the birds outside, but were taken inside to try studio shots of smaller creatures.  Impossible to choose one photo, of course. I've gone for a falcon as my first choice, and a reptile as second choice.
