Just before we walked over the Aquaduct, there was this chappie with a Harris Hawk on his arm, well, you dont need to ask, of course I asked him if he minded his photo being taken, no sooner as I started taking their photos - there were no less than 12 other people milling aroud with their cameras, but I had mine all done and dusted by then.If you are interested in the info of the Harris Hawk click here.

WOW!!!! Mac these are brilliant. Really, great shots!!
erm... at the risk of sounding dumb... hospital tomorrow? Are you selling stuff I hope and not checking in or anything?
I think this is the first time I have ever seen the Harris Hawk. A nice hawk with a very large beak for tearing out chunks to eat. Nice photos.
You have a hawk-eye, that's why you were the first!
I have a fondness for large birds. I'm hoping to photograph some herons this summer.
It's almost the week-end! Be well, my friend. At least, I hope you are well.
Aren't you the lucky photographer? These are wonderful.
Absolutely stunning! WOW!

A Harris Hawk in Wales - I wondered for a minute!
Wonderful Imac and it looks as though the hawk was not camera shy.
Its so wonderful to see these birds of prey close up.
Thank you.
It's a beauty!
What a beautiful animal! In Moscow there was a Kremlin guard with a hawk too and when we meant to take a picture of his hawk the swindler wanted to get paid for it! Ha!
God bless you!

Absolutely stunning! WOW!
What a beauty this is as well....
Harris Hawks are very social birds and both wild and trained Harrises will hunt together, with one helping the other to make a kill. Years ago I was lucky enough to go out hunting with a friend who owned one of these beauties. Alas I was not into taking pictures back then... These are stunning thought Stewart.
Mac: Truly a real beauty, I love birds of prey.
Brilliant photos!
