Well not the sort with controls, but nevertheless stunning.
I can't get to airshows as my family aren't interested in aviation, Cry

and anyway I don't think we have any up here, but we went to Dunrobin Castle which is just north of Dornoch, Sutherland. Here we saw some falconry displays. I took a few shots.

Dunrobin Castle.

A Harris Hawk.

A Perigrine Falcon, flies up to 200mph. The demonstrations 3 inches above the head were quite stunning!

A Blue Eagle. The first and at the moment the only one ever to see Scotland. (Isn't he privalidged!)

This is him with the background removed.

This is a Euopean Eagle Owl

There were lots more, but I wanted to post these last two. Here is a Red Admiral( I think) on a butterfly Bush in the grounds.

A Hover fly on a Livingstone.

Hope you like 'em.

Fantastic photos Ben. I'm mad keen on falconry and owls. Two magnificent hunters at the peak of evolution for their species Wink

If you've got any more of those magnificent birds please post them.

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Is this anywhere near you? If so, you just missed it. Sad

Might be worth thinking about next year. Wink
