Birds of Prey

Kestrel

Eagle Owl

Brazilian Pygmy Owl (1 of only 7 in the UK)

There was a Bird of Prey display at Bentley Manor. These are only a few of the birds on display. The pygmy owl has to be my favourite out of this lot as it is the smallest owl in the world (no bigger than a blue tit). I was only less than half a metre away from it as I took the photo. I was even allowed to hold and stroke it which was amazing.

Spot on pics AJ. I love the Eagle Owl, but my all time favourite is the Kestral. I have never actually seen one for real

Super pics, AJ!

The Pgymy Owl is darling, have never seen one like that before, and so tiny.

What is the swan with the white body and black neck and head, please? It looks like it was put together from two swans! Also, what is the bird just below it?

The swan is a South American Black Necked swan, mainly found in Argentina and Peru.

The other bird is an Egyptian Goose.
