She's pretty sharp & good pix anyhow, let alone for an 11yr-old
Seeing the title reminded me that there used to be a truly SUPERB raptor centre at Kelling Heath back in the 1990's.
I took my kids there & they asked for volunteers & like a fool (or so I thought), I stepped-forward (so did my son).
As luck would have it, it was very worthwhile, as during the flying display a HUGE gigantic Buzzard landed on my arm**
( ** Yeah, of course, both myself & my son wore reinforced gauntlets )
Gutted beyond measure when I'd heard it had closed-down - Anyone have any idea as to when ?
It was still open during, or AFTER 1995 or 1996, when (IIRC), our visit took place & these pix reminded me of the region.
