Can You Keep A Sakret?

Well, our neighbour can! This chap - a Saker Falcon - is just 8 weeks old and already being taken out for walks. And tame enough to let random beardy gits give his feathers a ruffle...

Admittedly his siblings will do a bit better, as the next brood have apparently all been pre-booked by the Crown Prince of Oman!

Anyway, having missed a helicopter rescue in Balbriggan and a car on its roof outside the estate - and everyone ok in both - you'll have to settle for some wildlife shots instead of reportage...
