Photographing fast-moving birds coming directly towards you is very difficult, even if you know when they are coming and from where.

It`s a Harris Hawk, Murray, native to Central and parts of South America.
Thank you. I’ll correct it.
It`s a Harris Hawk, Murray.
And the other one looks like a Lanner Falcon.
Corrected. Thank you.
Fabulous photos!
Thanks very much!
Excellent photos! I’m not at all sure Murray, but it’s possible you may have the European and Bengal eagle owls mixed up.
Thanks very much George. I think you’re right and have swapped the labels.

Reblogged this on Skvarla Falconry and commented:
Some nice photos of a falconry demonstration at Dunrobin Castle in Scotland. I’d love to get to the British Isles to hawk someday.
