Day 84

Oooppsss yet again we are running behind - maybe it would be better to ...oh whatever!!!

Well TUESDAY which should be day 84 I think turned out to be a great day - not the same old same old kind of day at all....

Well in a lot of ways it was the same - up and weighed - stats all logged - fly for food  - and back - and again, and again - all absolutely perfect I must add....

Then it was in the garden for the day - I did hear dad say if the rain came we would be going back in - but it was on the whole an ok day weather wise with just the odd light shower or two

It was dads falconry course so he decided to take Kai and me along this week which I have to say was unusual, but then dad knows best!!!

Couldnt believe it when people started arriving - it was like Barn Owl city - and I mean that!!! I did used to be the only one - now most of the falconers in training have a baby barn owl....at different ages too!!

Really cannot believe I was once that small - and that ugly too!!!!

And what a treat - Kai wasnt the only Harris Hawk either - there was Casper who is around the same age as Kai....it was great been with as many birds as people for a change!!!

Then dad suggested we have a walk to the fields and watch the Harris Hawks flying - it was met with great excitement - especially from Caspers owners - oh and what a sight it was too

Us barn owls fly so gracefully and of course silently which is a treat for anyone to watch - but to watch a Harris swoop and swoon really is something else!!!

Dad does something called a HAWK WALK EXPERIENCE - this is where he walks across fields and Kai simply flies and does his own thing but literally follows only a few feet behind dad.....amazing!!!
