"I do NOT like my photo being taken...!!"

My bliphunt walk took me to the local Rising Sun Country Park (a common source of my blips). I was aware that there was a falconry there, but it had been closed when I'd checked it out on previous walks and I'd wondered if it was just used for pre-arranged group visits.

Anyway I noticed that the gate was open today so I approached and was met by a very nice lady who told me that it was free to enter and I was welcome to take photos (she'd seen my camera). There was no-one else there so I had a good time snapping away - there must be about 20 birds there so I had difficulty choosing my blip. I liked the very stern look this owl was giving me, so I chose this one in the end.

It looks even scarier viewed large :-)

I'll certainly be back before long! Meanwhile there's a few more owl shots taken today on Google Photos, here.
