Harris Hawk (seen in Wales)





Posted by PicasaJust 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  15. 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!

  16. 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.
