  8. She is gorgeous. I'm hoping to get to the raptor centre in Yorkshire during the next couple of weeks. I love them sitting on my arm. They have a White Tailed Eagle that grooms my hair. Magical.

  11. Yes. It is lovely. A charm all of its own - and I love that cape, the cape we nearly see and the face too. Gorgeous. Unappreciated perhaps - but beautiful just the same. Thanks Bob.

  17. HI Bob Hope you are well. Great close up shots of this Vulture. I saw Vultures when I was on Safari but not closely like you got. I have now safely arrived back from 6 weeks away so have LOTS of editing to do!! Thanks for looking in on my posts while I was away and commenting. I appreciate that very much
