Arran/Aaron

This is the beautiful Harris Hawk that I had the pleasure of flying through the woods at Thorp Perrow Arboretum on a perfect Autumn day. To have him swooping through the trees to land on my gauntlet on command was amazing. The falconer, Arran and I walked round for an hour discussing birds of prey and discouraging Arran from attacking the squirrels!
Thank you Malteser for a wonderful 50th birthday present :)
