Playing catch up and not winning

I know, I know the updates are a bit thin on the ground. It's just that with days having only 24 hours in them and some of the hours earmarked for things that get in the way of living life, like work and commuting and sleeping I've fallen behind a bit.

I am slowly catching up with tinkering with pictures and uploading them. So while Fimb put her piccies of our visit to Huxley's birds of Prey Centre and garden up on flickr ages ago it took me a while to follow, but better late than never, my set is up too.

A few quick notes:

When they say it's at the back of the garden centre they are not kidding, you actually need to walk through the shop then through the plants, trees and bushes for sale before finding the entrance.

Do not be alarmed if you arrive at the same time as a coach load of OAPs and fear you'll have to scramble to get to see the birds. The OAPs are there for the garden centre, not the birds.

Allow plenty of time, between the "meet and owl" sessions, the flying displays and the number of birds there is plenty to occupy little boys.

The birds do not appear to take offense if your picnic happens to contain boiled quail eggs (so dainty, so fitting to the checkered picnic cloth).
