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.

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!
