Big birds, little birds

I have already posted four bird-related stories from Saltee Islands, and a River Suir bird story, and here is another one. I love birds and never miss a chance to take a picture and listen to what they say. This conversation was overheard ( or may be just dreamed up? ) in Mayfield Birds of Prey falconry, Co Waterford, Ireland. I don’t know what it is about. Just some gossip, I guess. We are all guilty 😉 So, here they are: Sadie, Banin, Peanut, Muffin, Bailey, Izzy, Holly and Boo.

-Did you hear that?

-Are you kidding me?

-I don’t want to know anything!

-Or do I already know something?…

-Everyone knows!

-Well, at this point…

-Aaaaaah!

-I’d better be going…

Thank you for stopping by! I hope you click on the images to see these sweet faces better.

When you travel Ireland, visit Mayfield Birds of Prey. This experience is not to be missed. Willie and Bridget  will let you handle and fly these noble  birds, and tell you amazing stories about them. Pure love – it is all I can tell about their work . Please “like” their Facebook page, and book a visit for yourself and your family, or make it an educational birthday trip.

Two more photographs of my favorite, Peanut, the Asian wood owl. He is molting – his eyelids will be all feathered soon.

  1. Your pictures are – as always – just amazing, stunning and absolutely beautiful, Inese!!!:) Would you mind, if I used some of them (and some of your lovely fox posts as well) to practice drawing and painting? I just love birds and especially owls and it is quite hard to find pictures showing so much love and respect, as you surely must feel for all creatures considering your pictures:) I would of course name you and your blog as my source should the results end up being presentable! Wish you a lovely weekend and hope you´ll get better soon so that you can enjoy Christmas together with your family! Sarah xo
